Northern Ireland...Leaders must 'back forces of law'

We're going international for this entry today...Northern Ireland. How many times has the world seen a headline that started this way..."The violence started after a Protestant Orange Order parade was re-routed away from a nationalist area of west Belfast ."
How many times over the last 30 years. It's not just the Protestants, the Catholics share an equal amount of the blame. AND FOR WHAT? To celebrate a battle in 1688 Where William of Orange married to James II daughter agreed to engage his father - in - law in battle Because...
" The inability of James II to work with Parliament, combined with his reckless Catholic appointments, brought both the political and religious spheres of the monarchy under fire again. The situation reached its climax in 1688. James established an alliance with Catholic France; arrested Archbishop Sancroft and six other bishops for failing to proclaim the Catholic faith; tampered with private property and historic rights; and produced a male heir after abandoning Anglicanism for Catholicism, which destroyed Parliament's hopes that the crown would pass to the Protestant children of James' first marriage. Parliament appealed to William of Orange, urging him to save England from a Catholic takeover. William gathered his forces and landed in England in November of 1688. William's professional troops and the welcome they received from the English landholders intimidated James. James was captured while fleeing from London, but William ensured him safe passage to France. James, feeling alone and realizing his lack of popular support, abdicated and accepted his exile in France. James made one attempt to regain the crown, but his French and Irish forces were soundly defeated at the Battle of Boyne and James returned to France to live the rest of his life in exile."

Now...normally these sorts of things fall into the history books to be looked at from time to time, Not this one. You'd think the Protestants would be happy enough with their victory...Sadly they are not content, They every year make a little parade trough the Catholic sections of Belfast to sort of rub it in as it were. The Catholics as you might imagine get a bit dismayed at this. Hence "The Troubles". I've been to Northern Ireland. It's the most beautiful natural scenery I've ever seen. Certainly the nicest people I've ever met. I've been to Belfast. I've been to the Falls Road. I've been with people on both sides, Good people by all accounts that look exactly alike talk like they are trying to kill each other. Everyone I met knew someone who had died. I just don't get it, and this is the best(?) part of the whole thing...It was Loyalists bombing and Firing on British forces. Now why do you figure that was? Could it be that the Loyalists feel they got the wrong end of the stick in the agreement with the IRA? Maybe Ian Paisley's just gone Mad? What's Gerry Adams doing about now? All sides there, The Catholics, The Protestants and certianly the British HAVE YOUR HEADS UP YOUR ARSES...FIX IT NOW.
THE WORLD IS FALLING APART.
Time is wasting for nothing.
