We should always seek Justice for any individual or persons, and do what can be done for the survivors of Ms. McConville.
The danger lies in a focus on one person or event. The fight for the liberation and reunification of Northern Ireland has spawned wrongs and grievances on both sides. Those must stop.
The fight for unity, however, must continue. I stand for peace, but I believe the British should be pressed to see their invasion of Northern Ireland for what it was and is: a wrong needing to be righted. It is the standing presence of that invasion, and the resulting scar on the Irish isle, that is a wrong to be erased. Britain should withdraw from Northern Ireland, the wall torn down, and those who want repatriated to the British Isle.
Those who want to stay should be treated with respect and granted equal rights under restored Irish rule. That will be a major price to pay for Irish who have long suffered for their faith in God, Christ and his church, but everyone must give something if the wound is to heal instead of festering a bloody infection.
Similarly, it is time for the British to turn over rule of the Falkland Islands to the Argentine. This would heal yet another wound.
The British have played a key role during both World Wars, sustaining the loss of many lives, civilian and military, to preserve not only their own but the world's freedom. That must be acknowledged. But they must see the harm their colonialism and expansionism perpetrated and make amends. Let the restoration and the healing begin. |
