You do know that this march was not by the IRA, don’t you? And that the violent British reaction to it is what so disgusted many that they gave up on peace, believing that the British only would understand violence returned?

Apparently Britain only wants to dig up 40 year-old investigations when they involve Chilean strongmen...

That’s not what Martin McGuinness said. Definitely IRA involvement. That defaults to “one struggle”.

McGuinness denies firing the first shot, but even if the Saville inquiry didn’t get to the truth, the truth will out one way or another.

What happened that day was terrible.

But the IRA fired from the Bogside first, and the killings that transpired were an overreaction from the Paras, who thought they were in danger.

Britain has blood on its hands. But so does the IRA.

The IRA were quite happy to use 13 innocent young men as collateral damage to further their cause.
