Lemming did not say that, your President did, more or less.
(swap USA -> Afghanistan, IRA -> bin Laden).

And the USA doesn't support the IRA. The people of Ireland do.

Im sure the lives of people all over are lost to terrorist acts, not
just the USA, its agencies abroad or the Irish people. 


you did say this however:

>>I live in a country which has suffered for many years at the hands of
>>a terrorist group who are funded mostly by Americans.  Tell me, should
>>we nuke the United States?
>>
>>-- 
>>Lemming

Where did you get the opinion that the USA was going to nuke bin Laden, or
Afghanistan?

The idea that we will detonate a nuclear device on any country to get at
a handful of people is without merit. The terrible destruction to life, 
all life, not only terrorists, the Taliban militia, civilians at the 
mercy of the those who run their country, but all the animals plants and 
insects, the mutilation of life that isnt killed outright and the 
mutation of life for many generations afterward, in Afghanistan and a long
Long way downwind, makes your words nothing more than flame-bait.

Since you live in a country that is (relatively) free, you can enjoy your
hate for America, and Americans, even the ones who refuse to believe 
whatever sales pitch the "noraid" organization uses to convince big hearted
people to give them money. I do not believe the IRA gets all its funds from
people in the USA, perhaps you have other countries on your hate list that
you would like to lash out at, or do you only kick at people when they are
already down?
Frankly I have lost interest in this discourse, you are unlikely to change
your opinion from anything I have to say, factual or otherwise.
