Well, what the hell is your excuse for not being able to figure out the "deeper story" when you were at the goddam Irish Times website you pompous jack ass?
Can you read, or do you just look at the pictures?
Ever wonder why it takes the RUC in riot gear to take Catholic children to school through a Protestant neighborhood? That one too tough for you?
We aren't talking tit for tat history--this is what is happening on the ground TODAY. This is what has been happening on the ground for NEARLY A YEAR. Pipe bomb attacks against Catholics. For the last two months, pipe bomb attacks on school children and their parents. The Northern Secretary declaring an end to the loyalist ceasefire after a journalist was assassinated by them a couple of weeks ago.
So, who the hell do you suppose the terrorists are now?
