    Jimmy - Ireland is much more complex than the Scots/Brits issue, for lots of reasons.

    Keith - I am not sure why you think I want to prosecute the soldiers - I mentioned the South African solution as an aspirational way forward. SA is still in a degree of turmoil, but the peace and reconciliation drive made many amends. The guys - all of them on all sides - are older, different people now. There is no real purchase in trying to second guess what people felt or how events unfolded other than to acknowledge the many enquiries and scrutiny of events and move on. On all sides there was fear and hatred, as well as other emotions and political aspirations. In some places there still is. It's no good blaming the Irish - the Brits had consistently bullied and abused the Irish and Ireland for centuries before we arrived at this point.
