Not going to fall out with you Keith.

Let's place our cards on the table. I make no bones about my support for the Provisional IRA. I want a united Ireland. I am dam glad the campaign is over. I regret the loss of ALL life.

I lost family and close friends during the campaign. It was sore at times, bloody sore. You think I am a bitter, Well Keith you tend to look towards the forces of law and order over here as victims and the brave.

I sometimes wonder how you would react if they stopped you in the street and made remarks about the murder of someone close to you and hinted they were involved. It en't nice Keith.

You often remark about the actions of the PIRA. The litter bin bombs as you call them. They were wrong Keith.

I mentioned British soldiers who shot kids in the head with plastic bullets. 17 recorded murders, no charges against the Soldiers,I Knew two of these children. Did you ever say that was wrong ?

We are one year on after the statement by the army council which apologised to the families of "non-combatants" for killings it has carried out over the last 30 years.

I don't ask for understanding of those volunteers killed on active service. They accepted that risk.

You can throw facts and figures all day at me Keith but you will never change my mind. You never lived under an occupation I did.

You carefully come to the defence of your soldiers and your governments policies over here. The same policies saw them found gulity in European courts, visit www.birw.org/activities.html
Do you ever say they were wrong ?

We will never agree Keith and anytime you attack the Provisional IRA I will be there. I do not support dissident republicans opposed to the Northern Ireland peace process.

You rarely find me on other threads on this site when it comes to Americans in other countries or the Middle East attacking eachother, simply because I can only express a viewpoint about it, Don't know enough about it and would make a fool out of myself (nothing new in that says you) Yes I have been over there and saw things, but didn't have to live it day to day.

The figures, charts and photographs you pull down off the net will never give you a first hand account Keith.

Believe me on that one.
