Very Poignant Letter
Re: Very Poignant Letter
He was not a victim. He was a soldier. Why is it that the media treats the death of combatants as if it's an unexpected tragedy? Soldiers do a job. They go where they're told. That's it.

If you think there's peace in Northern Ireland, Warren, you need to get the sunlight out of your eyelids. A political peace is a long way from peace for the people of NI.
Towns and cities are firmly divided along sectartian lines and the murdering scum that worked for both sides, continue to flourish and to enrich themselves by terrorising people, who just want to get on with their lives, into compliance.
I was on Belfast earlier this year and it made me sick to see the media reporting on the success of the peace process. It remains a brutalised, fucked up society, led by men who are butchers turned media pundits.

I think it's more about how we describe things. A ceasefire is more accurate than peace in most modern schismatic scenarios. The latter implies to me a country which is no longer at war externally or internally: there's a sense of resolution.
