Mafia or Yakuza? [video=youtube;Yb-eqiyEQ-0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb-eqiyEQ-0&feature=related[/video]
Taliban would have the edge, as the IRA are not going to be rewarded with 70 virgins. After all, where you find 70 of them in Belfast?
They both were armed by the US They both beat the British Army They both infiltrated British society It's tough to decide If it was ten v ten the taliban would lose a man for every bomb, so that goes against them....but the IRA would phone the taliban up and tell them where to find theirs.... I'm stuck???
Yes of course, I keep forgetting that the IRA acheived all their goals. The Afghanis kicked the **** out of every invading army since the *****ls including Cold War era USSR. Dev - did you lead the ***** invasion back in the day?
The Taliban don't drink, which makes them considerably harder than the IRA. Anyone can start a ruck when they're p!ssed, especially if they also happen to be Irish.
Taliban would win simply as have the balls to sacrifice their own life when taking out the enemy. Where as the IRA would not make sacrifices like that
I think the Taliban would definitely make home advantage count. And I'd fancy them to score away from home in Oireland. So its Taliban for the next round, easy peasy.
I'd back the paddies in a pub fight, the Taliban simply don't have the experience fighting in that environment. In mountainous terrain, I'd go for the Taliban.
Like Garden Parties and Debutante's balls? I don't recall any IRA or Talib strolling round Buck House eating cucumber sandwiches.
