Theyd still be druids if not for Henry II of England. The Irish didnt come out of the box Catholic. Supporting the IRA is supporting Marxism, on top of that.
Besides, as I said, theyre already reunited under the aegis of the EUIrish, English, Scottish, Welsh, Cornish, Manx and whatever other distinct ethnicities, all under one European overarching government with European law supreme over all of them. The Republic of Ireland had her independence for a mere twenty-four years, until de Valera signed it away via Irelands Third Amendment in 1972 and they joined what is now called the EU.

The Irish were Irish long before Archbishop Becket's Norman murderer became King and all Kings try to convert the conquered to their religion—especially one who had to kiss the Pope's butt in order to prevent his whole kingdom from being excommunicated.
That is beside the point—The Irish were Catholics when the new English protestants started their eight hundred year tradition of mass murder, mass starvation ubiquitous looting, and stealing land from the peasants then letting them live on it for “rent” and the hate for Catholicism gave them, in their bloodthirsty avarice addled minds, the excuse to reduce the population of the Emerald Isle over those centuries to that of the Middle Ages.
We did ill to the Indians but they should have been better armed and organized because conquests go to the strong so they had nobody to blame but themselves. We fried tens of thousands of Japanese in Hiroshima, that was war and it was a fast way to end the war and the Japs certainly had it coming...
So should we refurbish a couple of B-29s to buzz modern day Hiroshima each year to brag and taunt them about the nuclear massacre?
