As Bacon so states, maybe that is what we will find , more error and confusion than real truth. So this be only a start, it is up to us find a thuth.Søren Aabye Kierkegaard was a profound and prolific writer and intellectual said it best:" Life can only be understood backward but it must be lived forward." We understand the past and it is the problem if we are able to live the future . The actions by the British Army and the sectarian terror campaign are facts. For so it is that after kingdoms and commonwealths have flourished for a time, there arise<br />perturbations and sedition and wars; amid the disturbances of which, first the laws are put to silence..And if such<br />troubles last, it is not long before letters also and philosophy are so torn in pieces that no traces of them can be<br />found but a few fragments, scattered here and there like planks from a shipwreck; Loren Eiseley. It is from this troubled shipwreck, comes a truth a new philosophy and a new Ireland.Timothy Doughertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03626399091447383952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5004730508631468243.post-7725644115173214092010-06-14T15:11:07.444+01:002010-06-14T15:11:07.444+01:00There were reasons for the time taken.

There was nothing to gain, and much to lose (perhaps ?) by the British State if a true and accurate report of the killing of innocent British subjects in a British town by agents of the British state were to come to light.<br /><br />Again, however, I do not think that now, some 40 years later is the time for revenge.<br /><br />I feel that it would be much more constructive for all if the report does 'name names' that the guilty show some remorse for their crime, that the PM offers an immediate and unqualified apology to the family and relatives of those killed and injured and the offer of a suitable and immediate amount of compensation for stress, anguish, torment, jeering etc that families had to put up with in the aftermath of the atrocity much of it caused by the the Widgery report<br />which could, and perhaps was written by Heath and Hailsham and all a long way from the truth.<br /><br />Is this too much to hope for ?Titchmike3https://www.blogger.com/profile/14400621537045705326noreply@blogger.com
