Gardener you're being a bit disingenuous. The bombings you quoted took place in 1979. You should have pointed that out. While Northern Ireland still wants independence, it has been given a stronger hand at self-governance and Catholics now have rights that they did not have before. It's not perfect but it's a lot better than it was 20 years ago. The IRA ceased it's armed conflict in July 2005. Not a player.
I know people like you think that the people that carried out those attacks, carried them out at the behest of powers not recognised; otherwise known as an unsubstantiantiated load of rubbish, which if asked for evidence would, I know, people like you would resort to evidence not even the French would use in their courts of law. I'd be unfair to call you stupid, but on this particular issue...I have to,........... sorry, you are. If you have issue with the Saudis, then fair enough... Don't make BS points in relation to it though...
