".....who enlisted children for cover."
Make up your mind - they were either bored kids with nothing to do, as you have claimed, or they were employees enlisted by the dissidents - do you know how they were enlisted - I haven't seen any reports anywhere about this - recruiting sergeants maybe, or enlistment centres. Maybe they found a shilling in the bottom of their beer mugs?
"I am blaming it on dissidents from out of the area...."
If you have any evidence that the roiters were childern and outsiders please produce it. The reports you have put up say only that young people and outsiders took part.
The troubles leading up to these marches started much earlier than you have described; it usually starts when the marchers put in applications to The Marches Commission to parade through areas that would cause the maximum mount of disruption (Drumcree). The riots were instigated by the impending marches, as they are every year. In the past this has included parts of the Republic, Monaghan for instance. The aim has always been to display dominance over the Nationalist population.
"It relates to the kind of independence to be given to the new state, not the status of the North."
"That bit of ancient history you are determined to bring up."
Irelands present problems are historically based and are an unbroken continuum that can be traced back to Treaty; a refusal to accept this fact, or even discuss it shows an ignorance on your part - no threat of invasion my arse.
"We all have a common identity as human beings....."
The above Terribus message is obviously a fake; he would never have written that.
