Taking people off the street because they dared to steal and knee-capping them, [For all those that don’t know, knee-capping is being tied to a chair and having a electric drill pushed through your knee-cap while awake.

If memory serves, after the independence some of these people turned didn't wan tto let go of the arms and turned a kind of gangsters. I do not know if that is right - but so it is said.

The modern trend for the IRA whether Real/Provisional is to go out to Libya or the Middle East and train Al-Qeada. Will Obama apologise for the bombing of Iraq, killing all those civilians in the name of WOMD, that never existed except in the warped minds of Bush/Blair?
If it healed anything, would not be a bad idea.

I am with you on that one denu, I suppose while the Queen is in the mood for apologising she might as well include, India, Africa, Australia, the West Indies, and others in the old British Empire.
They are owed!

Just one other point I would like to mention and that is I am not anti Irish but i am bitter, and you could not pay me enough to holiday there. It is no good stating the history of Ireland, if you are not going to state the intelligence that was gathered and passed out to the forces on the ground and the Brits on the mainland.
