please refer to my #33.

my comments were directed more towards posts like ""If we so much as lit a firecracker in the future, an American aircraft carrier filled with mean dudes would park itself off the coast of Ireland and deal." and "the IRA know that they would probably be on the extermination list very soon. Time to lay low...for awhile."

as if we're going to storm the globe in the hunt.

I've never claimed to have any answers. My opinions have been formed going back and forth across the Atlantic over the past 30 years. I've seen aspects of both sides, that they don't talk about over here. The idea of a true peace over there is an answer to my wife's prayers and mine as well.(She is from Co. Kilkenny)I have friends in Armaugh, Derry, Newry, etc. it would be nice not having to look over your shoulder when visiting there. I pray that God's blessings fall on both Catholic and Prostestant politicians, that the people see each other as neighbors and friends.

I somehow keep on thinking about that old saying, "For the great Gaels of Ireland are the people God made mad, for all their war's are merry and all their songs are sad." Keep your powder dry
