Jim ,Iknow why the bombing took place,.
If you read my original post,I said it had to be decided by both parties,that doesnt necessarily include me,if I was allowed a vote on the matter ,I would use it,as I do in general elections,If I am excluded, I accept that too.
However I am entitled to an opinion,as are all the people who have been affected by the violence, and all the people who have had relatives killed, whatever their nationality.
If you read my ORIGINAL post carefully,I state that I do not have a problem with the Irish National Anthem.
It is some protestants living in the north,that have a problem,much as republicans have a problem with God Save the Queen,compromises have to be made sometimes for there to be progress,now these decisions are not up to me[although if Iam allowed to vote on it I would]But up to the Irish people both sides of the border,Catholic and Protestant.
But I am allowed to raise the subject for discussion on this forum,and should be allowed to do so without being told to keep my nose out of Irish affairs,and without being told I am feckin arrogant.
