British State forces murdered children. The British State has never condemned the murder of children by its own officers. The existence of NI is a imposition of British State forces.
The Stanley affair has been done to death. He espoused the military capabilities of IRA in 1979 and 1920. On military terms, the two attacks have similarities.
He didn't espouse Mullaghmore because it was shameful hideous wreck less attack.
Subsequent to Stanleys remarks, the righteous of Irish commentariat could only hone on the attack of 1979. The completely by-passed, in acts of barefaced hypocrisy, could not bring themselves to condemn the attack in 1920 - because they themselves peddle the narrative of the hero's of the Good Ol' IRA (GOIRA).
There is a thread elsewhere where this hypocrisy is highlighted.
GOIRA, a terrorist organisation by any defenition of the word. An organisation that committed sectarian massacres, murdered children, disappeared bodies on a scale far beyond what the Provos did.
This State is borne out of those atrocities. An criminal organisation with no mandate from the people. An organisation whose 'war' against Britain was rejected by the Dáil that they purportedly answered to.
But that was the 20th century, times have changed. Peace comes dropping slow. No-one can change the past.
But there are those who are blind to changing times. Caught up in the politics of condemnation of certain atrocities, but not others. It is pure political contrivance.
The violent movement for an Irish Republic, since 1798, has been an abysmal failure. It has failed at every attempt. Best effort, the establishment of a 26 county State that led to civil war, two sectarian states, and 25yrs of conflict. I give an E grade.
Nothing is going to change the past, but the future can be changed. Through peaceful democratic process. Anyone engaged in any sort of criminality should be held accountable, including the murder of children by State forces (its sad that has to be pointed out).
