Ed I have no need for your Wikipedia links to Irelands history of the troubles. Like thousands of civilians, loyalists ,republicans and security force members.I have my own memories of the troubles and the violence on all sides that individuals were responsible for. My point was that just as I labelled you the village idiot and offended you by doing so ,so you labelled every soldier and British person and in doing so offended them ,failed to treat them as individuals and perpetuated a divide which the Irish are attempting to heal with their reconciliation process.Simplistic interpretation from afar plays no part in the peace process and I think it will take at least two generations until those responsible for the atrocities on both sides are no longer with us.
