Brushing up on the History between Ireland and England

"They said I was ruthless, daring, savage, blood thirsty, even heartless. The clergy called me and my comrades murderers; but the British were met with their own weapons. They had gone in the mire to destroy us and our nation and down after them we had to go" - Tom Barry.

Irish people are getting too soft these days.. feeling like we have to apologize for fighting the devils who invaded our country. The IRA made it clear at the time, the reason for bombing Britain was to make the British public aware that a war was being fought on their doorstep, and they weren't safe from the blowback. That helped more than any amount of fighting men could have done.
