Michael Collins - Choosing Anarchy Over Civil War
Michael Collins:
I will not fight against men I trained with, I fought with!
Dáil Member:
The people have spoken, Mr. Collins, overwhelmingly in favour of the treaty you brought home!
Arthur Griffith:
They've occupied the Four Courts, half of O'Connell Street, Limerick, Cork- it's anarchy out there!
Michael Collins:
Better anarchy than civil war!
Arthur Griffith:
We've got to do something. Churchill's offered us artillery!
Michael Collins:
For Christ's sake, let Churchill do his own dirty work!
Arthur Griffith:
Maybe he will, Michael. Maybe he will.
