Err, I definitely wouldn't condone political assassinations in a modern democracy. I absolutely despise the current leadership in the US, but I wouldn't wish them any physical harm. People should concentrate their efforts on removing them through political means, as that's what democracy is at the end of the day—rising above issues, rather than sinking into violence.

And my family was non-practising Catholic, as with most other families in modern Ireland. I'm agnostic. Regarding Northern Ireland, I'd be far more worried about the current intransigent leadership in both the Unionist and Nationalist communities, which perpetuate division between the two traditions.

And Ireland was neutral during the Second World War, though was closely aligned to the Allies. Indeed, nearly fifty thousand Irishmen volunteered for the British Army during the war. You're probably thinking of the IRA's idiotic efforts to gain military support from the Nazis.
