I don't condone the murderous activities of the IRA/PIRA//UVF/British Paratroop Regiment, or any particular group, Richard, I don't make a distinction between them, as you appear to. Nor do I sweep aside evidence of those activities as rigged, as you have done with the Bloody Sunday Massacre enquiry.
As far as McGuinness, and anybody who was involved in the Troubles of the 70s and 80s, on either side of the sectarian divide, whatever I might think of their behaviour then, I recognise they are now a part of the move towards a peaceful settlement of Ireland's continuing problems, and ignoring that fact will be a great contribution towards passing on those problems for future generations to sort out with the gun and bomb.
Continual demands for your 'pound of flesh' could well work out just as lethal as any car bomb.
