Subject: RE: BS: Peace in Ireland?
Comrac, may I reply to each point.

"Sorry Keith A I donĀ“t compare bombs, why are you saying the Loyalist ones are acceptable ?"
I said they were nasty, not acceptable. But unlike you, I consider the bombs of both sides.

"I see you are in Hertford, England. So possibly you understand then that loyalists have worked with your Crown forces in Ireland, north and south in murdering people for their faith."
No.

"Maybe that is why your government is in no hurry to put the screws on them to disarm. Sorry I cannot speak for eirigi, so I have no idea what their plans are."
No challenge.

"You ask "Do the wishes of the majority matter to you?"
I ask you, are you saying because I would like to see unity in Ireland and the end of British rule that I am not entitled to an opinion ?"
Yes you are, but not to impose your will on an unwilling majority by force.

"I see from your previous posts you defend the role of your government in Ireland and support the military role and defend them. Not knocking you mate, that is your prerogative."
The military role was to counter the military action of paramilitaries.

"Faults can be found in both our nations, but you guys had the rule of law on your side (your law) and what they done to the Irish nation over 800 years is shameful. Your nation supported the Free French during the 39-45 war, were they terrorists or freedom fighters ?"
The Free French did not have the alternative of voting out the Natzis.
