Re: Mick

I to believe in a united Ireland, Free and unshackled. And there was a time for the armed struggle and a time to suspend it.

There are many indents that have been committed by English government but with a 'D' notices the press are gagged. In earlier times most of the common English could not read and it is very hard to know how much you don't know.

When Republican MP's are not allowed to take their seat in Parliament or be hard on TV and radio there is no point in the ballot box and people lose faith in Democratic methods

But with radio and T.V. you would think that it would be better, but it was not till the arrival of satellite T.V. and the Internet that the truth has started to come out and the English that I have spoken to on this which are many have been horrified.

In the U.S. I can forgive you not knowing what it is, to not have a free press if you had the same laws there that we have hear there would not have been a Water Gate.

Now Cromwell was a right B***** to the English too, killing thousands & thousands hear too, his men Rap, Robed and Killed at will.

Now the common Englishman is a reasonable man and dose not tolerate in justice and oppression (i.e.: The Gulf, Bosnai, and Kosovo ) any more than the next.

And if the same things had all been dun to them as were in Ireland you would have got the same results.

Now when is a freedom fighter a terrorist, when you don't agree with him.

All Governments sponsor freedom fight/terrorist the U.S. & the U.K. are no

exception to this rule.

In the sixty's the British Army was sent in to the North to protect the Catholics, now it did not stay that way for long.

And as more and more of the Army was sent in more and more came home disillusioned and disturbed by all they had seen and heard and many left the Army for this reason.

They spoke to other's and it has spread to so many who like my self would have loved to have been in the Army would not go in, and go to Ireland, and firmly believe that the English have NO business in Northern Ireland.

Now it is becoming more visible as to who are the one's who are holding up the negotiation, not the I.R.A. and not the British (At the moment) but the loyalist. And if this falls threw all over their inability to sit down and talk with some one with a different opinion.

They have to under stand that no Army in history has laid down it's arms before there is peace and neither can the I.R.A. yet there is still a long way to go.

At the end of the day all people want the same thing for their family and loved ones so we must find a way of doing this, hopefully peacefully.

But it's not so many years since the U.K. under Margaret Thatcher was getting very near to Armed Rebellion with the poll tax and other things.

A very large number of the British will not forgive the I.R.A. for missing her in Brighton.

I'm sorry if I have rambled on I do get carried away some times when I feel so strongly about something.

I hop this has not offend. But to be able to listen to other people and discuss is the only way to go. May the God's bless Ireland and ALL her people.
