Both Canadians and born into Christian families.<br />I had the same problem with "the troubles" in Ireland, I could see both points of view Catholics and Prots and I deplored the violence on both sides.<br />It's good that I now have a friend who is supporting the Israeli side to give me some balance.<br /><br />Costello is no loss even musically!Chris Burrowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17595784423498199994noreply@blogger.com
