When discussing McGuinees you do have to understand the context of what led to The Troubles, and you do have to acknowledge and acclaim his pivotal role in the peace process, but you also have to acknowledge and condemn his active role in a sustained campaign of terrorism and murder, a lot of it indiscriminate. He didn't have to go down that route, there were alternatives, he chose the gun and bomb over the ballot box. The OP provided a romanticised viewpoint of McGuiness looking through a green tinted lens, and for that he was rightly called out on...
