You seem to have this interesting propensity for shading the truth and only telling the half of the story that suits your lies.

Our memories go as far back a Drogheda. I can remember an Aunt who welcomed the Birtish soldiers into Ulster in 1969 after the "peace movement" was brutally attacked by the police, the local milita and various members of Orange lodges.

She made tea for the soldiers, that is until she realized that they were not there to protect her neighborhood.

It's over now.

And you lost.

Oh boy oh boy do we know your memories go back as far as Drogheda, see my post above jeez will you get over it already.

With regard to the 'peace movement' I presume you mean the Civil Rights marchers, then I also refer you to my second post and how their demands had been met by 1970.

You are right about one thing however, it is over now, but regarding the fact that Northern Ireland still remains part of the UK and the IRA is calling an end to their war and dumping arms I think all reasonable people would question your opinion as to who lost.

"It's over now.

And you lost."

Indeed, the right has prevailed, Erin go bragh. Let us be magnanimous in victory as the Brits never were and never will be.

To the memory of the Martyrs of 1798 and the nuns, priests and peasant farmers burned out, thrown out or hanged by Cromwell's little army (Drogheda or no Drogheda the bloody-minded maniac and his minions committed enough crimes to earn their own special spot in hell. Have you ever seen the burnt out abandoned friaries of Western Eire?), let us work for peace, prosperity and freedom.
