I thought it was a post about Sinn Féin and their spotty relationship with the IRA in the not so distant past.

Needless to say, I was confused for a second.

Man me too. Whenever I hear his name I think of the IRA

Yeah, that’s what I’ve thought too every time His name has come up in the last several months, heh.

You can definitely bomb your way to peace. It just may not be a world you want to live in once you've done it.

As Carlin once said, "Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity."
