We have recently been hearing the harrowing, heartbreaking stories from the Omagh bomb.

Quite rightly people have been appalled. Yet some will condemn it whilst supporting/excusing 30 years of Provo bombs.

What is the difference between Provo bombs and the Omagh bomb?

It is the height of hypocrisy to condemn one and not the others.

Or indeed to vote for people who glorify terrorism.
