| Khadafy is not the only one who supports the IRA.
| A true-blue American organisation provides the IRA with funding to carry
| on with indisciminate attacks of the civilians and armed forces of
| the United Kingdom and Ireland. Yes I'm talking about that peace-loving
| organisation NORAID. 
| 
|     They are funding *MURDER* there is no other way to descibe it, and we
| see no action by the American administration to hold NORAID responsible
| for the actions of their funding in the same way that Libya is being
| held responsible for the actions of Abu Nidal ( whose biggest sponsor
| is Libya, followed by Iran but they are a little big to make examples of ).
| 
| The citizens of the USA are funding terrorism within the borders of one 
| of its "closest allies". I think that the USA ought to clean up its act,
| outlaw NORAID, and start applying the same standards to all acts of
| terrorism that it claims to be working to in the bombing of Libya.

Hear, hear!!
	Rather than, as was reported on the news yesterday, some
	mealy-mouthed floccinaucinihilipilification** from the US
	legislature about not allowing the extradition of the murderers
	of policemen (Irish or British), only of murderers of
	civilians.

	--- And that from a country which regularly executes sundry
	criminals!
	
**	(I've wanted to use that horrible American word for years)
