My family is Irish American, and it reminds me of a great film I just saw called The Wind that Shakes the Barley. A lot of the people getting killed in the Troubles were just bystanders, peripheral casualties, innocents.
I wish there were an easy solution, but it's hard to quell violence that involves both land and religion.

Irish,
I haven't seen the film, but will as soon as I can.
My problem with this mess is that innocents always pay the price. It's been that way in every "war" event in my memory, and for many years previous.
I wish them fresh water and food at this point.
Children and old people don't derserve this, no matter their religion. And yes, they should have their own land where they can live in security.
