Hrm. Yah. Conspiracy theories, Mujahideen aside. And I'm not sure where the ocean fits in.

Our citizens have the freedom to behave quite badly. Those who send money to the IRA are culpable in the crimes the IRA commits. If Ireland wants them punished, they should get the justice they deserve. If some idiot doesn't like it, and joins the IRA in protest, he is a tard, and yes, he is now as culpable as the first idiot. If a third idiot decides "hey, what's with all this anti-IRA stuff?" and decides to go down the same path, how is that Ireland's fault? Ireland should stop taking out IRA bombers because it makes idiots mad? Screw em to the nth degree.
Whether they are culpable tards or not is irrelevant, and I agree they are. The issue is whether the punishment works. Killing a terrorist is a pyrrhic victory if you end up with two more. If England had decided to fight the IRA by bombing a whole town, they would have been worse off than before.
