I was expressing my opinion, not answering for anyone else.
The "bloody point of any of it" was that bombs, bullets, intimidation and murder were not allowed to subvert the democratically expressed will of the people.
NI was not forced against the will of its people into a union with Eire.
The kind of arrangement that now exists could have been had decades ago.
All the gunmen did was deprive NI of decades of prosperity, and bring untold misery into thousands of lives.
History will not be kind to them.
