No one has the monopoly on suffering. I have heard men of God preach of the evils of the IRA, next day they were standing in a bowler hat and sash demanding their right to walk through an area in which they had no support and receiving medals for doing so while residents of that area were locked in their homes for up to three days due to the massive security operation (Garvaghey Road).

I myself have attended many wakes and funerals of people taken long before their time, none of them were victims of the IRA. Many within the community attended funerals of loved one who were victims of the IRA.

It is like table tennis over here, politicians and organizations promoting their own brand of injustice and recalling a selective history. Point scoring exercises help no one.

If we don't draw a line under the past we can never move on. Yes it means individuals and members of the security forces will never stand before a judge, set the bar at 1998 when the agreement was signed.

I simply don't have the answers, no one has, the blame game is different in both communities.

I was told this morning (I am serious) that Gerry Adams told his solicitor he is giving consideration to shaving his beard off, there are many like myself who would be more than willing to assist in that !
