Hollywood has made several films where the hero is an ex-IRA terrorist but really a good man.

Funny, I could never imagine an American film where the hero is an ex-Palestinian terrorist. That's because the IRA apparently have a just case and the Palestinians don't, according to Irish Americans.

Originally posted by Cornette Earlier today I started a thread that I now regret. I didn't realise it at the time but I was inadvertently promoting racial hatred. I have now come to realise that people, whatever their true heritage, have the right to pretend they are Irish and behave in ways that have very little to actually do with Ireland, to the determent to the reputation of people actually from that country, and to reinforce incorrect negative stereotypes about that country. I understand now that it's perfectly ok for someone born in the United States to ignorantly support and fund terrorism against their countries' closest ally on an island they can't even identify on a map all because one of their great grandparents came from there. I see now that people have the right to do this without any criticism, for to do so would be racially hateful. I won't make these mistakes again, my life has been changed for the better.

Yeah, well, ya know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
