This is a dispute which can be had without any violence being necessary.
Men of violence use the dispute as a cover for their thuggery.
The dispute is also not about who has the "right" to it. I'm sure both
Governments would be very happy if the entirety of Northern Ireland
vanished overnight. It's about what the _people_ of Northern Ireland
want. (And, currently, the majority want to be part of the UK, so that's
how it is. This may change in the future.)
