Commemorating the Easter Rising of 1916

Today The Independent ( not a newspaper of which I am usually fond ) has a very good feature article by Robert Fisk about the commemoration of the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin. It can be seen, and indeed read, at Is the history of Ireland's struggle for independence being twisted?

I might not agree with all the points he makes or every bit of Fisk's phraseology but he makes on the whole an excellent case, and has some telling points about the uprising, its instigators and consequences.
