Ok some people want my views so I'll try and make this my last post on the subject.
Yes the protestant majority did treat the Cathlocis badly and diascriminate aginst them in a lot of ways -
but the situation is far from the British murdering thousands of poor defensive Irisihmen - if they were why did the IRA wait up until
the troubles begain in the to start carrying out serious violence ?
The fact is that Northen Ireland is democratic and by far the majority of the people want to remain as part of Britain - the IRA just
won't accept that fact. If the majority want to be part of Ireland then so be it but you can force a minorty view onto everyone in Northen Ireland.
Anyone who gives the slightest bit of credibility to the IRA or protestant terrorist groups UVF UDF UDA is wrong. Bombing civilian
targets are acts of cowards, and so is ambushing soldiers or bombing army barracks.
Wether all of the British soldiers are completely perfect or not is irrelevant - %99 of the soldiers would have done no wrong. Would you agree that it's ok for Serbs in Kosovo who dislike what has happened to hide a bomb beside a road and blow up some poor American soldier who was simply doing his duty and has no vies on the conflict ?
Calling
themself an army is a joke. They are cowards through and through.
I'm sick and tired of the Irish and anyone with the slightest connection to Ireland complaining about the British, while I'm at it the Scots (and that historically inaccurate movie Braveheart) as well. The Scots regularly murdered each other and fought each other (eg the campbells massacre of the Glenns).
Every nation on the earth was the same. They would invade and rule each other if they could. It just happens that the British were larger and stronger than the others and they won out. I'm sick of these selective views of history viewing one nation as somehow nicer than others. Human nature is the same everywhere.
AS a matter of record my ancestors came from England, Ireland and Scotland, although I admit all were protestants.
