The empire strikes back

There is violence again in Northern Ireland.
Violence that wants to be named "Real IRA".

People asked me - as if I were an expert - why now? Why after a relatively long time without "political manslaughter" men start shooting policemen again? Especially in the peaceful city of Craigavon.  I don't know.
Perhaps hunger and violence are linked. Or maybe it's just the last bloody breath of an army that is dying out.

Munin

Irenic or Irenical: adjective, intended to create peace.
