Re: Martin McGuinness has died

Forgiveness has to be earnt and he didn't earn it he went to his grave without giving closure to some of his victims and likely because as the true coward he was only thought of himself and how things would affect him. I've never wished hell on anyone before but there will be another i wish it for and that's for his equally cowardly scumbag friend gerry adams sooner he joins mcguiness the better.

Those who deal or perpetrate in the death of innocents deserve to receive the same in kind.

I won't celebrate his death but I won't eulogise him either.

Re: Martin McGuinness has died

I'm certainly no apologist for the IRA but I think we should remember the appalling way in which the British treated the Catholics earlier in the 20th century, and indeed, way before that. The IRA was born from a sense of that injustice.

This is an important lesson for everyone to learn for the future. Violence breeds violence. Until that lesson is learned and acted upon, similar conflicts will arise in the future and forever.

There are still many people who suggest that we should not have rehabilitated Martin McGuiness as a politician. Understandable though that is, if we had not been ready to accept such a step, the violence would still be going on today and the peace process would remain just an aspiration.

It was the right choice to make and this decision must have saved many lives. To be fair, at least he did embrace the peace in the end, which is why we are where we are now. This may be cold comfort for those who have lost loved ones and who themselves may have been injured by the impact of the troubles, but it was the better option to take in the end.

I certainly don't think we should forgive him, but we should try to understand what motivated him and others to do what they did. That may prevent similar conflicts in the future.

Re: Martin McGuinness has died

There would have been no peace agreement without him, and I'd rather have dealt with someone like him than the current batch of terrorists we have to deal with.

Re: Martin McGuinness has died

As long as we don't get around to blaming victims of the IRA I will be delighted.

Re: Martin McGuinness has died

The praise poured up him was akin to praising Jimmy Saville for his charity work. Sickening.

The person I credit with getting peace in NI is Mo Mowlam.

Re: Martin McGuinness has died

She is sadly not with us anymore but heaven will certainly be proud of her achievements and the great courage she showed in her later years before her untimely passing.

Re: Martin McGuinness has died

If only he died a day later, then the attack in London would have removed him from the headlines.
