Thanks Grab. In fact, as you may have noticed I have already spoken of the fact that I spoke out about the Manchester bombing, and several other events at the time they happened and have here on Mudcat. Unfortunatly in armed struggle, such as the American Revolution, (the true story not the one from the movie Patriot!) The struggle against Aparthide in Africa, even the actions of French and Jewish partisans during WW2, one has to weigh the overall policies and options of the times against the horrors of war. I have on mudcat and continue to say, that personaly I think it is no way to make change. However, sometimes war is brought to small nations by huge bullys like the United States and Britain. The aftermath of these wars takes generations to overcome. How long will India and Pakistan, Irac and Iran take to work out the aftermath of US and British involvement in their histories?
Well, I'm away, I have an old friend coming over to play a bit of music. Anyone read Alan Feldman's "The Northern Fiddler"? Well, he is quite a musician in his own right. He does have a pention for difficult tunes, so I have to practice a bit before he gets here.
All the best
