being irish catholic myself, I am not supporting either side in this. They are both violent groups filled with pathologically violent people, most of which have no idea of the basis of the fight and keep it up solely for violences sake. Nothing can be gained with further violence on either side. this has boiled down to violence for violence sake. Sinn Fein has no moral ground to stand on when they do not stop the IRA from doing stupid things.
Nothing, i repeat nothing can change what was done in Ireland in the past. but i dare any support on either side to present a rational reason to continue the violence.
How many children under 10 have been killed in the last 30 years? Do the big tough men, most of them too gutless to act publicly, feel vindicated in killing young children? How about the elderly? those that want nothing to do with either side?
A pox on both their houses, and a burning place in hell for all of them. An that includes any one that supports them.
