There's no denying the loyalist ceasfire is at an end - and has been, officially or not, for quite some time. There's absolutely no denying that terrorism by anyone is bloody awful. Yes, children have every right to walk to school. But is it just as right to take a 4-year-old along that route and face that hatred? This perpetuation of animosity is by the parents, but it's the children that are suffering from it. Everyone brings their own views into play and I don't think anyone can have a balanced opinion on such emotive issues. I'm cynical about the decommissioning in some ways, but I'm also happy that progress has been made, whether or not it was an attempt to shore up the peace process.
