Good article, an a silly argument from Mr. Sullivan, but do you really consider the Easter Uprising a terrorist act. A group of brave patriots trying to liberate their homeland from brutal colonial rule by the British? Do you consider Sam Adams and George Washington terrorists as well?

Just sayin'...

There was a point, not sure where it was, where the Irish independence movement was entirely suborned by Marxists. They didn't want to be independent, they wanted to turn Ireland into England's Cuba.

The PIRA of the post WWII era were Marxist terrorists, and should have been suppressed like any Marxist insurgency.
