"a Civil War that Britain forced on the Irish"

WOW I am absolutely dying to hear what convoluted logic has to be applied to make that argument.

By the by Jom you never did come back to me on that question:

Which would have been worse and which would have lasted longest - A Civil War fought between 15,000 IRA men and 55,000 Men of the Irish Army OR A Civil War fought between 70,000 men backing an Independent Ireland and almost 500,000 men and women totally committed to the Unionist cause. Logic and reason would seem to favour the answer that the latter would be far worse.

The Irish Civil War was the fault of Eamon de Valera and the IRA not accepting the deal that gave Ireland it's independence.
