I honestly wish I knew what you were talking about so that I could respond to you. I have no clue what the IRA or WMD are?? Please elaborate on them.


Oops, sorry. IRA = Irish Republican Army, a terrorist organization that was very active in the 1970s, bombed a bunch of pubs in England (it does still exist and it causes trouble every now and then - remember the bombings in Northern Ireland the early 90s?). It's a group of Irish (Catholic) radicals who believe the Protestant presence in Northern Ireland should be removed because they're English/descendants of the English colonizers, and it uses violence as a negotiating tool. I offered them as an example of people whose religion IS relevant to a discussion of their tactics/actions (as, I argue, it is NOT relevant, but only deliberately inflammatory, to mention re: bush's doings with regards to iraq).

WMD: weapons of mass destruction. a CNN-ish shorthand.

Good. Thanks for the explanation. And excluding the religious factor, I would still embed the fact that the US "government" is perhaps the biggest terrorist affiliation in the world. Them and the UN(United Nations).
