Ah, Irish America throws its two cents worth into the ring.

Phantom,
My friend, despite the mythology created by Sinn Fein in the US and elsewhere, many Unionists of the more modern variety recognise the mistakes that were made by the Unionist establishment in NI 1921-69.

However, this never justified the carnage that was leashed upon the innocent population(Unionist and nationalist) of NI and the rest of the UK.

"But defenders of this six county state have little to feel morally superior about"

I'm sorry, but compared to the IRA,UVF,UDA terrorists and those in the PUP and Sinn Fein who justify their murders, I do feel morally superior.
