Queen’s visit touches many sensitive nerves – VIDEO

Considering Gerry Adams comments of "mutual respect-equality-and self determination" I don't think a 'Royal' visit will bring any of these,but it looks good on paper, doesn't it Gerry? Or should that be 'Sir Gerry'?

Okay Wingeire1 I'll try although not all my comments are posted. I think everyone is holding their breath that she get in and out okay, and I feel there is more danger from people who are not Irish. I saw where many British were burning and smashing a short while ago. I don't have a clue what the Irish President was trying to accomplish with this visit, but it seems like a travesty when the Irish, through no fault of their own, are in financial straits. I think many comments come from Americans like myself and possibly they think it is none of their business as we don't know what is going on. I am equally worried about Obama's visit as there are so many people in the world who hate the poor man and again the danger would not be from the Irish people. Incidentally our media that gave so much time and money to the royal wedding, is barely mentioning the visit except to report on bomb threats. That's hollywood constantly cowtowing to the royals while bashing the Irish. Very few Americans actually watched the wedding.

Why is no on commenting on this? How odd...you all comment on everything!
