Linda, Linda, Linda, <BR>There are probably more Irish in America than in Ireland. I'll bet everyone you meet in Ireland has relatives in the US, and many, many Americans are part, if not all, descended from the Irish. Our blood is so co-mingled, how could they not like individual Americans just because they are American? You might be their long-lost cousin!<BR><BR>As for terrorism, Northern Ireland had its own problems, largely in the past, and not directed at Americans, but at the British.<BR><BR>Why not read up on the wonderful things you'll be seeing in Ireland and be working on your itinerary, rather than worrying?

I think terrorism is rare in Ireland. Irish terrorists go to Britain to attack. Crime isn't that bad. Emergency medical care is good. I'm not sure where they get their beef. British beef is much safer, but Mad Cow Disease still exists. I heard that an estimated 40 cows have it compared to 10,000 cows a few years ago. Therefore, I think it's fairly safe to visit Ireland. It is possible that Arab terrorists will blow up a plane going to Ireland, but they might want a bigger bang for their buck and blow up a plane going to Britain.
