"Jim ,I do not distort what you say, I quote it."
You have persistantly distorted my position and have painted yourself into a corner in your efforts, so much so that you have tried strenuously to steer the discussion away from areas on which you have no knowledge.
You not only refuse to debate 'my version' of history but you have done your best to prevent me from discussing it.
"Saville was able to investigate....,"
Saville dealt with and reported on the events of the day and their cover-up - he did not attempt to put them in context of the political situation existing in the six counties, then or now, nor did he suggest how the position might be rectified and the events not repeated - it wasn't his brief.
Bloody Sunday happened because Ireland was partitioned in 1922 in favour of a Unionist majority, which led to nearly half a century of sectarian conflict culminating in open warfare in the seventies - Bloody Sunday was only one, albeit a significent incident in that warfare. The situation created in 1922 has not altered significantly enough to guarantee that it will not be repeated.
I have made my suggestions of why the massacre happened and how things might proceed - now let's hear yours.
Please do not continue to lie about my opinions and do not tell me or anybody omn this thread what we should or should not be discussing - you have monoplised and distorted one thread; don't do the same with this one.
