    What violence was Mountbatten involved in that would have made him a target? As far as I'm aware, neither his naval nor political activities had anything to do with Ireland.

    I was referring to the post that 'he put down his sword' ...whenever. Nothing else.

    An unfortunate choice of words - could easily apply to thr IRA.
    Could be the motto for some in these islands.

    Gratifying to think that the IRA weren't only concerned with a united Ireland - punishing an old imperialist for his past deeds.


    I don't know what you are implying here - but I don't like what I think you are implying - I have never defended violence, no matter where or from whom it comes. I would ask you to apologise to me.
