It is a good thing that it made thugs like Martin McGuinness and Gerry Adams look ridiculous as they attempted to represent themselves as peaceful politicians rather than the terrorists they actually were.

When it comes to groups like the IRA one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. You necessarily need to act in a way that makes you a terrorist in the eyes of the government if you want to get your freedom.

  No. The people who murdered innocent families in pubs and on busy shopping streets are terrorists. Are you really saying that the murder of hundreds of British civilians was a price worth paying?

Also true, as they pretended to know nothing of the IRA whilst being part of the leadership.

maybe but they were instrumental in making the lasting peace.

  Yes, they stopped murdering people and then there was peace.

    The trick is to convince people that there is peace now so murder time is over. If you don’t convince people peace has come, those who call themselves soldiers keep fighting those they call their enemies.
