Bloody Sunday

wow.... at the beginning of the year I said that if I didnt flunk any courses, Id be a genius.

here I am, 3rd Year and no courses failed.

thats the greatest success of my life.

Ive just watched "bloody sunday", an Irish movie about the attack to a pacific march by the british groups in Londonderry.

I have to say I didnt imagine the attack as it was described in the film. I thought it was less terrible.

People running, scared. people being shot at, when they were doing nothing illegal. that's wirklich unfair. I know Im always on the british side, yet Ive always thought that was an unnecessary measrure to "keep the peace".
you cant make peace ny shooting innocent people...

and this conflict keeps on and on..

If youve gotthe chance of watching the movie (mihgt be a bit long) it is worthy.
Ill leave you with the song inspired by that day Sunday, Bloody Sunday by U2


I can't believe the news today
I can't close my eyes and make it go away.
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
'Cos tonight
We can be as one, tonight.

Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead-end street.
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall.

Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Oh, let's go.

And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won?
The trenches dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters
Torn apart.

Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.

How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
'Cos tonight
We can be as one, tonight.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away.
I'll wipe your tears away.
I'll wipe your tears away.
I'll wipe your bloodshot eyes.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.

And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality.
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die.

The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On...

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday..
