The wars of the three kingdoms were ripped apart. it wasn't until well into charles II that things settled. look, we have a choice. We can either rake over tensions, or try and forge peace. Yes the troubles were _heinous_. the UK did nasty shit, but its not like the provos were golden angels either. I am sorry for what the UK did. But I have no control over history, only now. We can either work together to stop another generation loose their male relatives, or slide into another civil war. Yes, we must acknowledge what happened, but we cannot let it define our collective fates.
