I see no ships?

The Irish have a very one-eyed view of the past.  The Queen has visited Croke Park where back in 1920 the British Army and Police opened fire on the spectators at a Gaelic football match being held there, killing 14 people.  Surely a terrible thing, but little if any mention is ever made of the assassination by the IRA of 14 British intelligence officers that same morning and which almost certainly sparked the Croke Park incident.  Two wrongs sure don't make a right, but if we ignore the fact that there were two wrongs we shall never come to terms with history.  I also refer back to my post of the 16th June last year.
