Subject: RE: BS: Bloody Sunday Report - AT LAST
"What you and Jim must try to do is accept that we are where we are,"
No - what we must try and find out why we are where we are to see ascertain that Bloody Sunday doesn't happen again.
Saville said what needed to be said about the actual events - British soldiers shot down thirteen unarmed demonstrators, just as their predecessors did similarly in the previous Bloody Sunday. It then went on to cover up the reasons for the massacre for thirty eight years.
Unless we take these events in their full context and try to understand why they happened there is a possibility that they will continue to happen.
Some of us have attempted to put these events in their historical context; you have consistently tried to police this thread in order that we don't do so. You are not an adjudicator on this forum; please stop attempting to adjudicate. And please do not continue to distort what I have to say.
