But surely, if the foreign soldiers were not there they could not get shot.Many members of the PIRA were based here and many attacks were launched from here. In some cases soldiers were shot by snipers from this side of the boarder. In the very early days of the PIRA there was unofficial support from the Irish state. I don’t think we ca wash our hands of this completely.

All very well put, but if you were to answer yes or no to 'would there have been any Irish attacks on Britain if there had been no brutal attempt to control our country by the British' I assume that you would answer 'no'.
What's been done can't be undone and we have moved forward.

This is all just about in living memory so why would I wish to entertain the Queen of England in Dublin when her granny subjected my granny to such hardship.

Rarely do appeasers or bleeding hearts get a hard time from conquerors.I like England and its people (especially because they can't take a slagging). Never once throughout the years have I had the IRA thrown in my face by English people (apart from a couple of BNP biggots) despite the misery caused. The least I can do is return the favour and move on. If that means letting the Queen drop in to see our President, then so be it.

the Queen does not take on board the wishes of most of her subjects (i.e. those in Britain) who, if given choice today, would get rid of NI asap.
The 6 counties were stolen, We know who the thief is and where the goods are stashed . All we need now is to get what is rightfully ours back.
Problem is, at the time, the majority of decision makers in Ireland and in Britain agreed to it. I'm not saying that's the beginning and end of the story but it makes everything a bit more complicated than what you call "theft".
LOL, is it not obvious that our 4th green field is an economic burden. Theres good reason why Britain wouldnt mind losing it.
