I'm guessing you're talking about the Warrington and Manchester bombings. I'm sorry I really have no memory of them, as I was young. I do remember that we used to summer in England, and that in my early teens we stopped doing that, and this might have been the reason we stopped.
I'm really sorry about what happened. I would like to debate you on this, but I have no facts, and since I'm the last open minded person on earth, I won't fall back to the "we're America, we're great and don't do anything bad". And if you fire me up, you know which side I will argue on, as you know my roots are with the passport with the unicorn.
When you say IRA to the vast majority of Americans, it means Individual Retirement Account. The Troubles have no meaning to them. But the Irish of the city of Boston are another story. I know there were many Irish in Boston that openly supported the IRA. But they're Irish, and they operate beyond logic.
Hopefully any American business leader in a position to support the IRA is long retired and that period can now be put behind us.
Is it normal I'm Sooo happy that Osama bin Ladin is dead...

I'm really sorry about what happened to you too. No country should have to suffer things like this. I mean that about every country in the world.
