Thank God for free debate! in my opinion the troubles in northern ireland were caused as aresult of th e british trait of walking into anothers country and trying to take control ,,a long saga of imperialism supported by flag - waving patroitic cretins spawned in this island from the time of the angevin empire to presnt day Iraq . before I get the expected feed-back I have all ready chosen to go else where ,and have no plan to even retuurn to the ISLE OF SHITE unlessI can borrow a B-52!
