IRA - Can we forgive and forget?
I recently moved to Warrington, the scene of a horrific IRA bombing nearly 30 yrs ago. Just around the corner from our house is the Peace Centre, dedicated to the 2 young children killed by the bombs. Today, the (ex) IRA Chief, Martin McGuinness has been invited to make a speech there. I am not happy that he is here, in fact every shocking moment, including the funerals of my friends, has flashed back this morning.
I know that I should forgive, but I feel that McGuinness is pure evil, right to the core. I want to protest today, but does that make me as bad as the Belfast bigots?
