yes this song is about the 'Troubles' in Northern Ireland, I think specifically the ignorance of the IRA and their brutal violence that killed innocent civilians, even Irish Catholics, who were a big part of the reason for the foundations of the IRA in the first place..Irish catholic repression by the RUC. I think blinded by rainbows actually refers to the tricolour flag of the republic of Ireland..the IRA used this flag to support a United Ireland ..North with the South..and they are blinded by their ambition to make this happen that the violence and killings to even civilians who are caught in this battle is just another casualty that is worth it to support their cause...I'm writing a paper on this and feel like procrastinating lol just thought I mention some insight..
Oh, I think those fighting any war see moral lines blur. Brown fire-bombed Dresden weeks before the war was over. USAF B-29s fire-bombed Japan mercilessly even after few real targets existed.

That is the nature of war, especially fratricidal civil wars like the wars in Ireland (I don't consider the Welsh or Irish or Scots to be more than a slightly unique tribe of the greater English islands.)

The genius of the moderate forces on both sides of the English and Irish conflict was their ability to find peace, eventually.
