Lura has a great point - fighting IRA terrorism would go a long way towards de-fusing the Christians v. Muslims subtext of the anti-terrorism struggle. And morally, the IRA is no better than, say, the Palestinian terrorists who walk into pizza parlors and blow up civilians under the pretext of defending sovereignity. Yes, civilians often die in war, but in times of peace, choosing civilians as a primary target is simply inhuman.
