Sinn FÈinís International Perspective: From Conservative to Radical in the Blink of an Eye Deaglán Ó Donghaile On Saturday, January 25th, Martin McGuinness told listeners to the BBC Radio Ulster Inside Politics programme that he is opposed to the forthcoming war on Iraq. "I am opposed to war in Iraq," he said. "I do not believe that the situation that is before us is a healthy situation. My concern about a war in Iraq centres around the concern that people will be killed in that war - whether they be Iraqi civilians, or American soldiers or even a British soldier." As we say in Derry, all of this concern for civilians and British soldiers is "a quare change" from McGuinness's earlier vintage, such as when he promised "a continuation of the struggle and the certain deaths of British soldiers" at Bodenstown in 1973. His recent embarrassment on US radio, when another 1970s gaff, this time stating that nosey bystanders had their injuries coming to them when caught up in explosions, also springs to mind.
