This bitterness against people long dead, and the condemnation of acts by governments that existed in less enlightened days, is nursing a grievance with a vengeance. South Africa has it's Truth and Reconciliation committees, and in most cases the descendants of slaves have put the hatred behind them, and learned to live with the descendants of those who oppressed their forefathers.
Why do there seem to be so many warmongers and so few peacemakers in the NI conflict?
One side accuses the other of bitterness and intransigence, and truth to tell, one side is a guilty as the other.
For Christ's sake grow up the lot of you!
