Is Eammon De Valera to blame for all the deaths in Northern Ireland since 1916?

Question

I'd like to know what everybody thinks, is all his his fault or are there other people to blame? The Queen, Gerry Adams or others? What is the solution?

Answer 1

Its a culmination of things thats being going on now for about
8- 9oo years or possibly even 5000 years .It all started with pre
celtic civilisations really one set of people moving into the Island
Conquering the weaker people and taking over,The Celts,Vikings
There Cousins The Normans,and lastly when the Normans dropped the Title and just called themselves the English.Its a
struggle thats being going on now around the World Throwing off
the last Vestiges of Colonial British Rule.Ireland was the first Colony and the last to leave not quite yet ,and this still causes the Hatred.I myself am Descended from the Normans,our Family have being coming and going between Ireland and England for Centuries,i have more Cousins in England than I have in Ireland. I have a mixed collection of Relatives some had
an Pro Irish republican viewpoint the rest have Strong Anglo Irish Sympathies and wish there was never a treaty of Independence back in 1922 .They wanted a Federal Solution
There Own Parliament within the British Isles. There is all shades of Opinions in the South, but over the years the people have Mellowed become more Liberal minded,and just want to get on with there lives its a short life.Its accepted in Dublin to
wear George Cross T Shirts on Rugby match weekends between Ireland and England but not the Union Jack it is like a
Red flag to a Bull,there is a lot of Blood and Gore Associated with the Union Flag and what it stood for.The George Cross is a
Symbol of just England and also a Religeous Symbol and so is accepted up to a point,so long as the British Fans are not Rowdy. There was a terrible Bloody campaign Between 1916and1922 when Britain stepped up there campaign and got really vicious the IRA stepped up theres,and the Black and Tans,The Auxiliaries the Crown Government brougth in were
Criminals made up of Thieves and Murderers from English Prisons That didnt help with good relations with the Public.
Thankfully thats all over now, and we look forward to the Future
as Friends and Neighbours now in the European Diaspora.

Answer 2

While it is true that the original constitution of Eire under the leadership of Eamon De Valera stated that all of Ireland should be united as one nation, I do not believe that he was responsible for the killings in the north.

The politics of Ireland are very complex - go there and become mad.

Answer 3

How about blaming those who are so hate-filled that they murder? There are a lot of people in Northern Ireland, and most of them are angry about what's been going on for about 800 years, but most of them don't use murder to make a point or as a solution. Those to blame for the deaths in Northern Ireland are those who committed them.
