Not an urban myth.  the loss was attributed to "shoddy" book keeping at the time.

Well, here's a story that bears tracking.  And may god help Bush if this is true.  I can't imagine anything that could be more damn if it is.


The US has a long history of things like this.

As the old saying goes; "Then enemy of my enemy, is my friend", ironically this is an old Arab proverb.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_enemy_of_my_enemy_is_my_friend

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend is usually considered a foreign policy doctrine that is commonly used to confront a significant enemy through an intermediary in order to undermine the enemy and in a "cold" manner, as opposed to a "hot", direct confrontation"

Funny how the Irish Republican Army went from a military org to a terrorist org for the convenience of the British perception though, isn't it? ;)

After the Easter rising of 1916 the IRA did the obvious having been defeated using conventional means they turned to guerilla/terrorist tactics.I don't condone Britains Imperial past,but the us has rammed the terror message dwn are throats till we're sick of it,yet for years they refused to stop Americans sending money to a terrorist org.despite repeated requests by British governments.

Yeah, silly Catholics of Ireland....they should welcome the Protestant Orange Parade every year that celebrates their defeat ages ago.  Its one thing to remember history, its quite another to throw salt in the wound annually.

Beats me, you tell me...do we have tense Union/Confederate feelings down there?  Because clearly there are in Ireland...but rather than strive for peace, that parade is just an annual poke in the eye, as I see it.

You let me know if there's been Union/Confederate riots in the past 20 years.  Then we'll talk  :)

I think you may have missed my point, its kinda late...

I was trying to find a point of comparison between Irish history and American history.  it would seem to me that if for some oddball reason we had an annual parade of Union Soldiers in downtown Atlanta that would cause the same strife.  I agree, an annual Orange parade is a poke in the Irish eye
