Den,
I agree with you that Goverments have let down the Nationalist people in the past.
The Stormont mob was completely prejudiced against you and London should have sacked them earlier.
London also did a lousy job but I suggest it was incompetence rather than conspiracy.

I was disappointed by your first post because I had by then acknowledged twice in different posts that the army was responsible for innocent deaths in NI.
I read your list of army victims and the word activist seemed to come up again and again. Look again and see what I mean.
I admit I did not count them all.
Then I recognised a non activist name because it was used by Sweeney, looked further and found that he was one.(Sweeney lied about the Army exonerating him) How many more like that?

You seem to have a double standard Den.
You criticise the army for being in NI but not the paramilitaries whose campaigns of terror kept them there.
Like me you deplore the army's killing of innocents, but do not criticise the IRA even though they killed hundreds more innocent men, women and children than the army ever did.
You complain that some of the paramilitary activists were not actually murdering someone when they were shot, but do not criticise the IRA for gunning down soldiers police and prison officers when they were off duty, with their families, waiting for trains etc.

What is your opinion of the favourite IRA tactic of sending an emergency plea to the police for help, then gunning them down when they arrive?

I do not discriminate between the paramilitaries. The Loyalist gangs showed even more contempt for human life, albeit on a smaller scale.
