The IRA mostly confined its activity to N.I. & mainland U.K. It had a specific agenda & clear aims, to unite Ireland & get the Brits out. In my time I had the opportunity to speak face to face with Operational IRA members.

They considered themselves to be soldiers & had a clear objective as to what they wanted to achieve. Despite my hatred for some of these killers, others showed similar aims to my own, which was to protect my country & fellow citizens from foreign influence.

Al Queda is a global threat with no specific agenda or aim. It is an organisation which kills indiscriminately & without cause.

These are 2 different terrorist organisations with totally different objectives. I dont believe they can be compared with each other.
