In the past, Britian has made many mistakes and bloodshed in Ireland has resulted in negative results for the sides concerned. This cannot be allowed to happen anymore. The fear of death should be powerful enough to make both sides talk. All my life I have never experienced anything but violence except for the months of the ceasefire. I have seen the pain inflicted needlessly on innocent people and the hopefulness felt by many when it stopped.
Nobody wants to look to the past, everythings in the future now everyone lives in hope.
Unfortunately in Northern Ireland too many people talk about the past and kill for the memory of the dead. Pointless violence which has achieved nothing but heartache and bitterness. I believe that during the ceasefire not enough was done to find a solution. The politicians are unable to have meaningful talks and now that the ceasefire is over, I believe it is important that peace talks are continuing and the voice of the ordinary person is heard. If SF want to go on he must be made contribute positively to the process.
