But I often wonder what ...I have also been blessed. But I often wonder what kind of family of victim I would be. I hope I would be like Joyce McCartan and Alan McBride but I fear that I would be a bitter and twisted and noisy victim for whom there could never be enough sympathy. I will now call themm dissident victims because they are as much as an impediment to the Peace Process/Agreement than republican, loyalist or liberal dissidents.<br /><br />I am not of course talking about the O'Hare family but rather the victims groups who receive slightly too much empathy from the Conflict Resolution "industry".<br />We can only say "sorry for your loss" so many times.
