Northern Ireland

I have read many books and I try to keep current with what is going on in Northern Ireland. It hurts my heart how many people have died, how the Irish people have suffered because Brittan wanted to take control over Ireland. But the pride and courage of the Irish people wouldn't let that happen. I know many innocent people have died due to this struggle, a struggle that has been going on for centuries. Its sad to look back and see how England let people starve, kicked out of their home because they couldn't pay the taxes for their land. Land that England shouldn't have been collecting money on to begin with. The potato famine started and that was a very sad time, many lives lots due to England thinking that the Irish people were basically animals.

However, it has been quiet in Northern Ireland for a while. But yet they are still there, in a land that is not theirs. Now there are some British Soldiers dead due to this whole struggle, still. Amazing how all this fighting might just stop if they were to pull out of a country that they don't belong it.

Tell me something, how would you feel if some country came over here to take over Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and New York??? Would we not pull together and try to protect what is ours? This is exactly what the men and woman are trying to do in Ireland...
