I completely agree. No one should have to bury their innocent children because some morons decide to act like a two bit terrorist. That being said the Irish have been burying their dead children, comforting their raped wives etc for about a 1000 years. Now I understand that British rule in N Ireland is no longer oppressive as it once was but that hatred is still there.
I am probably about 5 generations, or more, removed from the violence against my family and it still gets me riled up when this subject comes up.
