Prepared for delivery? I could write a letter and say it was 'prepared for delivery' to the United States Secretary of State.

Terrorism has to do with attacks on civilians. Britain and the United States do not target civilians.

Britain and the United States do not sponsor terrorism.

I don't know about the US Govt, but a large number of US citizens actively sponsored terrorism attacks against Britain for decades.....

Billions of pounds of damage was caused and thousands died

Exactly. The US government does not sponsor terrorism.

If an American citizen went to Iceland and murdered someone,would you say that the United States is sponsoring terrorism against Iceland? Of course not. Neither does the United States sponsor terrorism in Northern Ireland.

Leave the Irish alone and you would not have had trouble.

If only life were that simple. The protestants in Northern Ireland refuse to be anything else but British. Originally, British troops went to Ulster to protect the Catholic population. Unfortuneately from there on onwards too many mistakes were made by the troops and too little dialogue. I just thank god that the people of Ireland can now live in relative peace.

I also have to say that as an ordinary everyday Englishman, I hoped that NI would become independant. Free from both British and Irish governments, and to boot, I think a lot of English people felt and feel the same way. To be honest, Again as an Englishman, I wish we had no other countries tagged on to us at all (for want of a better phrase.) I think England should be independant of anyone else.

United States of America

The United States of America has been accused of being a state sponsor of terrorism by various groups and nations, such as Venezuela and Cuba, who accused it of protecting Luis Posada Carriles, and North Korea. The U.S. Government has been accused of involvement in the destabilisation of various régimes via intervention, subterfuge and the more or less covert support of insurgency, such as its training, arming and other support of the anti-Soviet Afghan mujahideen during the 1980s, the intervention in various Central American and Caribbean conflicts and the support of anti-government groups in Iraq following the 1991 Gulf War. The Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, formerly known as the School of the Americas, is opperated by the United States Army at Fort Benning, Georgia, and provides specialized training for foreign militias, militaries, and paramilitary organizations aligned with U.S. strategic interests in regard to various overt and covert international conflicts. The Cuban government accuses the United States of harbouring and supporting anti-Castro terrorist groups. [2] In this connection Operation Mongoose (also known as The Cuban Project), was a six-phase terrorist operation ordered by U.S. President John F. Kennedy in 1961, some of which, including the blowing up of a civilian industrial plant in Cuba, were implemented (National Security Archive, Bay of Pigs Chronology; Operation Mongoose; The Cuban Project). Also, the United States armed and funded the Contras over a period of several years, whose activities the U.S. State Department called "terrorist activities" (Sandinista (Iran-Contra affair).

United States do not sponsor terrorism

I guess you figured it out because your president didn't sad it on the last public speech...

[PadawanOsswe]

if any U.S. Citizens sponsored Terrorism against The U.K..........more than likely those citezens were recent to fairly recent Irish immigrants.

(which america has a whole bunch of)

but the U.S. gov. itself does not support the IRA or anything of the sort.

....which does not fit the definition of terrorism.

In this connection Operation Mongoose (also known as The Cuban Project), was a six-phase terrorist operation ordered by U.S. President John F. Kennedy in 1961

Calling the Bay of Pigs a 'terrorist operation' is like calling the Argentine seizure of the Falkand islands a 'terrorist opeartion'. Neither were terrorist operations.

Also, the United States armed and funded the Contras over a period of several years

Providing arms and funds to one of the participants in a civil war is not sponsoring terrorism.
