Well, now....
This seems like a most tepid condemnation to me.
As the savvy, retrogrouch lawyer said in the Star Trek episode where Kirk
was being court-martialed, 'it's only easy to find a man who _wants_ to
be found.'

The history of the world (nay, the record of nature itself) is a litany
of crimes and justices committed by people who have never come to their
senses, whatever that means. As you say, decades in North Ireland, and no
lessons seem to be learned.
When I do 'flag-wave', it is to point to the lessons that created the
documents that created this country, the declarations and manifestoes of
independence. If only the real flag had all those words somehow on it,
I'd wave that too.... It's supposed to....
