yes I think so. just look at the emotional intensity of the songs. if truth is first casualty of war, they wouldn't be the first side involved that massacre. show a bit of tolerance.

i think to most people (apart from the odd yank who thinks he's an expert because he once had a tin of Irish stew) the violence and its effects speak for themselves.

lets just be glad there seems to be some turning away from it. constant bickering over over who was right....well it just won't get us anywhere.

divis and Ard do you know this guy who wrote these songs?

Glad you like it Paul. I thought it was a cut above the usual Boys of the Old Brigade and Sean South - more current, and a real sense of humour.
