3. I lived in England in the 70's & as a 8 year old I remember
having the realization that the British Army or Government must of done something terrible to make these people (IRA) so Violent & Determined.

It wasn't until I came to Canada that I learned exactly what the British Army & Intelligence Services were doing in Ireland.

I have seen the horrific aftermath of an IRA bomb as unedited raw news footage on English television. It was beyond horrific & I have read
& heard accounts of what the British Army did to suspected IRA members & sympathizers. There is blood of innocents on everyones hands in the Irish conflict.

IMO
The British Government through it's Armed forces were committing acts of violence & torture in Ireland as State Policy it was something they chose to do.

The IRA was turning to violence out of desperation & necessity.

Torture as State Policy is the sign of a weak & desperate Government.
The appointment of Gonzales as AG will be one of the darkest days in Americas short history.
