The Troubles return

[sombrefan]

Two soldiers killed here on Saturday night and a policeman killed here last night. Whether you believe in a united Ireland or not (I don't), what we have here is a small minority trying to deny the rest of us a chance of living our lives in peace. The students I teach have never know known anything like this.

It's an interesting reminder in the days of the "War on Terror", that terrorists do NOT speak for the populations they claim to. I think everything I have heard in response (from all sides) has been condemnation and sorrow.

I hadn't heard there'd been another shooting last night, damn.

I read about this today Simon. I am really sorry (and angry) that it is coming up again. My thoughts are ZOOMING over there and kind of saying - "please don't start all this again."
