I noticed that the entry for IRA is a straight redirect to Irish Republican Army. Should it be a disambiguation page? IRA is also Individual Retirement Account. There is no preexisting article on the Individual Retirement Account as far as I know, and there are MANY links to IRA as the Irish Republican Army, so.... I don't know. Thoughts?

Most TLAs have multiple meanings these days, so disambig pages are in order. Did you know that GDB is used not only for the GNU debugger, but also by Guide Dogs for the Blind, Greater Dallas Bicyclists, and a company making Grateful Dead Beanie Babies? :-)

Yes, it should be a disambiguation page.
