Some pretty odd stories are going to come out of Northern Ireland about the "Troubles"

dead man walking!

I'm not Irish and have no connection to any of this. However, I've known some Irish guys in the past and their hatred of the Brits bordered on pathological. Now perhaps the Brits did rule with an iron fist, but this stuff of fighting your neighbor all your life must get pretty old. The men I knew who were hard core...not a single one of them enjoyed life. They were full of bitterness and hatred. Surely there is a better way to go through life other than being suspicious and hating?

Am I missing something?

This is truly one of the most bizare situations I've ever heard about.
