CPT Hunter is right there. In fact, many of our elected officials (Pet Moynihan was one particular offended, Ted Kennedy is another) that send huge amounts of funds through NORAM to the IRA. Though that outlet was allegedly shut down, it simply changed names. (Kinda like the soft money now banned by the Incumbent Protection Act...I mean the Campaign Finance Reform...just changes name and path of desemination.)
Most of their weapons are actually purchased in Colombia and Northern Africa since the mid-1980s, however. They are also conducting weapons research on homemade rocket launchers, new bonb types, etc. with FARC right now; several news outlets have bothered to finally report it.
I remember a case in my hometown in PA while I was growing up where the IRA was building rocket launchers in the woods. (They got caught...)
"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
John Stuart Mill
