IRA doing well

The second-largest terrorist attack in Britain has done the IRA no harm, rather counter-intuitively. I've seen numerous articles much like Nigel Farndale's in today's S.Telegraph, in which he says "say what you like about IRA terrorists, at least they know what they want". Nice cuddly terrorists who gave warnings, etc.

Of course as with so many things, Michael J Totten was there first.

...we would a pipsqueak of a bomb in a trashcan at the mall by the IRA?... Old school terrorists like the IRA and the Basque ETA don’t behave this way, nor will they ever.
