Terrorism and the corruption of public life
We in Ireland know that an incalculable price has to be paid by the generations to come for any ill-judged resort to violence, whether by the state or by individuals and groups of individuals within the state.
We also know in Ireland that there is a corresponding responsibility on the part of leaders to ensure that the ways of peaceful protest prosper and that the oppressed everywhere can hope to remove their sense of oppression by democratic rather than violent means.
