Today is the 20th Anniversary of The Omagh Bombing and a Commemoration will take place the Co Tyrone market town this afternoon. Bells will ring from 2.55 until 3.10 when there will then be 2 minutes silence to mark the time the bomb exploded. 29 people and two unborn children were killed in this atrocity claimed by the dissident group who called themselves the Real IRA. It was all the more shocking because it was shortly after the Belfast Accord had been signed and we were all looking forward to a more peaceful future.

I think I remember seeing this on the TV a while ago.. We have all been invaded or invaders at some time throughout history and there is no such thing as a pure race due to interbreeding. It is nonsense to draw lines on maps and declare a national identity. Maps have been drawn and redrawn since time immemorial.
The "Troubles" were an war! The peace has lasted so far.As you know such things were common at one time.

I unfortunately do, as I lived through almost all of it from 1973. Lost friends and neighbours.
@Marionville My condolences.

Posted by webspider555I’m beginning to wonder whether our government is just incompetent or are all these things happening just to get us in a rage arguing amongst ourselves.
