IRELAND DAMNED BY OMAGH BOMB
Ireland damned by Omagh bomb
I AM Ireland. I am what makes Ireland what it is. I am an Irishman and I say damn you Ireland. Damn you to Hell. If the price you demand is what happened in Omagh. I did not demand it. I do not want it.
Ireland is not this piece of rock and mud on which we live. Ireland is me and all the good people cursed to live on it with beings who feel free to blow babies to shreds in my name. To these beings I say loudly and clearly you do not represent me. You do not represent any of the decent Irish people on this island who have never before spoken out against your evil. Your 'cause' is not mine. Whatever your cause, nothing is worth this. This is why when I say damn you to Hell I know I am telling you to go home. You are not Irish. Ireland does not want you.
The people of Ireland, in one voice, gave you your answer, in the recent referendum. Listen to Ireland and crawl back into the infernal hole from which you crawled.
Note that I have not mentioned border, religion, race or creed. No, for I am Ireland, and I am free. I have the freedom to speak as I do. Must I exchange this freedom, for the type of freedom you offer? Your concept of freedom seems to offer only the freedom to think and act as you do. I say to you 'no'. I do not want you or your evil.
Bury yourselves in the mists of my long, sad and bloody history so future generations may one day forget that you committed such deeds in my name.
I am Ireland. You have shamed my name. All I stand for you have desecrated.
Must I now fear you? Must I watch my back, or am I really free?
