Yes I do mean that one. You were suggesting in your post that for some reason people shouldn't criticise McGuiness or other Irishmen because the British have superior technology that has killed innocent civilians in wars. So why not answer the question - who was the target of Omagh bomb? Or if you prefer, who was the target of the pub bombings? Or the Manchester bomb? Or the Warrington bomb?

I reckon she should wait until McGuinness apologises for the cowardly murders of Tim Parry, Jonathan Ball, the wives and kids on the M62 bus and many others first.

I'm sorry but I couldn't help singing along:

I see Liz wore green for the occasion, although there is a rumour that she was wearing orange drawers to appease the Unionists

Thank God England is so civilised.
England is, in general, pretty civilised, as is Ireland. McGuinness isn't. I don't blame the average Irishman for bombing England because I reckon most of them weren't in favour of killing and, by the same token, I don't blame the average Englishman (like, say, you or me) for bombing Iraq.
As for collateral damage, I do recall the IRA saying that the deaths of the children in Warrington were a regrettable cost of war (same weasel excuse as collateral damage) ... which was cynical bollox, who the hell did they expect to kill with a bomb outside a town centre McDonalds on a Saturday?
Freedom without Socialism is privilege and injustice. Socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality.

I dont know. why dont you ask the people who planted the bombs. I am sure they would have swapped them though, for a few tomohak cruise missiles or submarines and torpedoes.
