That's true, man. I'm not saying they didn't do bad things. But as far as I'm concerned, they were the lesser of two evils in that period. The English actually had wide spread support in Ireland until 1916 and their handling of the leaders. Shooting James Connolly in a chair is widely seen as...

Well, yeah. I know that, but how long were the English here? That's what I meant. Also the original IRA crossed some lines, but mainly hit black and tan, R.I.C., British army and spies. Sorry if I wasn't clear in what I said there.

Just to note "no super-weapons" is quite false here. WWI saw the introduction of large scale chemical warfare (despite being banned by treaty, but there was a loophole). The German versions being designed by Haber (who you might know for the Haber cycle. He made modern mass-produced fertiliser...
