Are you serious? The IRA preaches that the Catholic Irish should rise up and kill all the English? I don't think that's factually correct.
Speaking about the press however, I heard on national public radio the other day that the Arab news wires carried a story that 4000 Israelis and Jews did not come to work at the World Trade Center on September 11 - evidence that the Jews were really responsible for the attacks on the towers and Pentagon. Interesting since so many folks who bought this story were in the streets celebrating. I also heard that it was widely reported in the Arab world that the Jews were responsible for bringing down Pan Am 103. I think there's a powerful impulse at work to convince folks that the problem is someone else's.

.It's not a war in the traditional sense. A war against a nation or axis of nations, but a war against an ideal. A war against cowardice and hatred and anger.
There will be no-one to sign the surrender treaty, and there will always be someone in the hills who doesn't realise the war is over.

Shame we had to hear of our commitment of UK forces from the US president an hour before our own PM could tell us

I got to the news late, and the first thing I heard was Tony Blair, I tip my hat in honor. What a great speech, what a great speaker! I first heard about the US troops from the UK speech.
Good luck to us all!
