When you're so glibly mouthing on about 'purveyors
of war' you seem to have missed out in naming the
world's leading 'purveyor of war'... that'd be Mr.
George W. himself. Mr. George W. quite the man to
be holding up as your man of peace. Sorry but some
of us Irish never have and never will cow to the cruel
might of the enslaving British Empire. Maybe you could
ask the unschooled George and wee Tony not to go around
killing and maiming innocent women and children all
around the world for that sinful black gold that's
in Iraq. And murdering and maiming innocent women
and children to lay pipelines in Afghanistan isn't
the noblest of causes either. Maybe if the Brits would
get the hell out of Ireland, maybe just maybe that'd
settle a lot of problems do you think! Maybe when
the Orange bigots quit trying to march down Garvarghy
road, chanting 'Croppy's lie down' doing all they
can to incite the Irish, maybe that'd help. Anyway
I get a great kick out of someone holding up the Brits
and the Americans as their answer to ending violence.
Good luck with that one bud.
