Subject: RE: BS: Priest in 1972 IRA bombing: Another cover up
Bloody Sunday was an act of State terrorism carried out on our behalf by state employees. Similar acts of terrorism were the Birmingham and Guildford bombings, the trick-or-treat massacre, the killing of three children by loyalis paramilitaries, and all the many hundreds of similar acts committed by both sides. The bombs placed in Monoghan and Dublin by Loyalists fighting their 'sectarian' war, killed and maimed civilians, Catholic and Protestant, just as the ones place in Omagh did. The difference between our attitude and your is that you differentiate, we don't. Whoever did what to whom and when aside, the question should be "where do we go from here?" not "where have we been?"
