The Irish Catholic vs. Protestant Divide
The Irish troubles go back hundreds of years, and whatever spin others want to apply to the ‘troubles’ the basic antagonism, according to Regan, is the catholic vs protestant divide.
“The partitioning of the Emerald Island into a protestant North and a catholic South was applying a band-aid, not a solution,” says Regan, “because there are just as many Catholics in the North as there are protestants in the South – but it is the raving Catholics in the North who refuse to live in peace.”
"A great many Northern Irish – peace loving Catholics and Protestants - left for England after 1969 when the British Army moved in,” says Regan, “and we left in 1992.”
“For 38 years until July 31 2007 the British Army’s occupation of Northern Ireland was its longest continuous military campaign in its history,” says Regan, “and I fail to see what it has done, other than delay the inevitable reunion of the Emerald Isle.”
"Apart from satisfying the blood lust of some raving Protestants who would rather die or cause innocent people to die than suffer under majority Catholic rule, the 38-year British army presence in Northern Ireland was a total waste of resources and money and lives."
"If we have 9/11 to thank for anything," says Regan, "it's bringing perspective and sense to the raving lunatics of both religions in Northern Ireland, and particularly the financial backers of the Catholics in the USA."
