who we gonna throw bricks at now tho
:yes:
Imagaine what our current media approach would have made on Ireland in the early 70s...
Partially - but it probably also shows that you don't 'win' in the conventional sense. Winning in 1969 would have been a United Ireland or a Northern Ireland where there is still an RUC and no Sinn Fein in Govt.
Fair enough, winning isnt really the right term, I was just thinking of the long term nature of problems such as this. Many comentators expect western governments to just bang a few heads together and solve things like this in a few months which is just stupid.
