This visit by the Queen to Ireland has obviously sparked an 'intellectual' debate, which must be good. My feeling is this has become such a issue about land on both sides that people are conveniently trying to forget the ideas that fundmentally seperated them in the first place. That is a good thing if true peace is one the agenda, but not when you have policemen being blown up, and the threat of more terror in the future.
If politics was just about land Adolf Hitler wouldn't have tryed to gas a whole race of people while taking over the world 60 years ago. The queen should catagorically not go over, or if she does not in the republic. Do not be a braveheart in the face on people who want to derail the peace process, there is no point if there are people that have no intention of listening as there are now, it only comes across as arrogance or complacency on her part.
McGuinness and Adams have told her to stay at home, surely that says it all.
