TradeSurplus"Attacked nationalist areas"? They shot everyone they saw? In that case you should report them to the British authorities; behaving like that is illegal, and the Israeli and Zimbabwean governments are currently the only ones who condone behaviour of that nature by their armed forces. Of course, you may simply claim that the nationalist areas were occupied territory and the IRA legitimate defence forces fighting to evict an invading force. However, international law does not agree with you.
The IRA has also committed both terrorist acts (pub bombings) and non-terrorist acts (shooting paratroopers that attacked nationalist areas while wearing their combat fatigues).
