This is St. Patrick's Day, but I just can't work up any enthusiasm for the occasion.
I haven't found much to admire in the Irish - particularly the IRA - since Aug. 27, 1979, when the Provisional Irish Republican Army blew him and his boat to smithereens.
Mountbatten was Prince Charles' great uncle and mentor and was a genuine World War II war hero and was the last Viceroy of India, overseeing the transition to independence of India and Pakistan.
His murder was an act of terrorism, plain and simple.
