GUEST, Keith A -

"The point of my post Guest, was that given such murderous terrorist atrocities were perpetrated, some hostility was inevitable"

Here's another point. Atrocities were not committed only by groups working in England, and yet that's all you posted about in order to substantiate your later statement that hostility was inevitable. How much are you aware of the atrocities committed by the British government and supported by the British government on the population of Ireland? I ask only because maybe you aren't honestly aware of everything that's taken place here in the name of your government and that is why you post about why the English have a right to be hostile. If your argument holds true, then the Irish have a right to be downright livid. But yet, I stand behind the GFA as do my friends and family. One can accept hatred and let it consume him, or he can remember all that has befallen his family, his community, his country and decide that a positive change MUST be made in order to assure freedom for those that follow.
