America Finally have and effect on the War on Terror.
The Irish American Population driven by the attacks on New York have reduced the level of donations to such a point that they have finally given peace a chance.
Go America!!
While i wasn't being sarcastic and the Effect of 9/11 on the Northern Ireland situation is large, a huge vote of thanks must go out to Mr Clinton, and all the other American Diplomats that negotiated through the years,
Also the Brave desicion to change the way that the Northern Ireland problems was being tackled by the then John Major govenment and its sucessors has shown the world what you can achive if you tackle the Terrorists in the right way.
Time will tell as to wether this will lead to a lasting peace, Mr Paisley is still around after all and he hate Catholics with an almost devil like passion, but hopefully it will lead to a lasting agreement and in a couple of generations people will no longer feel the need to use two sides of what is the same religion against each other.

IRA lays down its armed struggleFollow
Paisley is more like Arafat more than Adams IMO..
also this isn't going to stop the local violence.. Orange Parades are still going to gloat thoughout Catholic neighborhoods, and somone is going to start throwing ****, and someone is going to start throwing **** back, next thing you know, parents are going to have to sneak there kids through the back doors of Catholic schools so their kids don't get hit with bottles and bricks for trying to use the front door.
Although, I am with you on the IRA disarming.

Today is a day I'll never, ever forget, and one that puts some awful memories firmly in the past.
No words can express what this means to me.
Ditto what tarv said. Clinton, Major, Aherne, Bliar, Trimble and (I never thought I'd say it) Adams have proven that greatness comes in all shapes and sizes.
Of course it doesn't make Ireland an ************* zone, but this really is a day for History.

I really do hope it sticks. It would be awesome if it does.
Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
I just hope another faction doesn't emerge..
The "Really Real IRA" or somthing.

That's one of the reasons I'm having to offer grudging respect to Gerry Adams. Yes, he was part of the Republican butchery-machine in the 70s, but he's had 2 cross-hairs on his forehead since he signed up to Good Friday. .. One from the SAS and one from the Provies.
Sadly, he may find himself an early target of the nut-jobs. A man of courage, whatever his past sins.
The power of today's statement is that any acts of what Dubya calls 'Tourism' will not receive any significant popular support.

Could one call Adams the new Michael Collins?
Somthing like this is waht caused the Irish Civil War in 1921, wehn "peace" was made through the partitioning of the North...
Some liked the Treaty; as it got Britain out of Dublin... others didn't... as it left the Catholic families in the North isolated and open to persecution...(and didn't give the Republic FULL control of the Island, which is ludicrous anyway since Ulster has an entire seperate culture and heritage) Collin did the right thing. He called it a "stepping stone to peace" He was right.
Boom, civil war.
..sorry.. I'm all about randomly blurting out useless trivia..

There are even parallels with Mandela. . . Militant demonstrator. . . involved in violent protests (some would say 'Tourism'). . . vilified, etc.etc., now walks on water as the saviour of Africa.

Who knows, somebody might pull it off. Gah, talk about fighting fire with fire though.

I'd rather risk the Irish taking over the world than the other. Might even get used to Guinness.

the differance between the IRA and islamic terrorist is the IRA has been willing to TALK with governments and negotiators since the beginning. Islamic **** heads dont listen to anyone but their screwed up view of the koran that is so horridly wrong it is evil.
God created beer so the Irish wouldn't take over the world.

Paddy2: It's a glorious day.

anti-Unionist propaganda maybe, but I for one believe it for some reason.
Bush goes to Ireland for the coverage or to use it as an airport.
How about YOU show me proof of anything he did but play butt-buddies with Blair to get some support?

Bush's itinerary was a true Republican crowd pleaser as it proclaimed "the Trip of the President to Belfast, Ireland",) (ibid.) and in one magic swoosh partition was wiped away. I'm sure William David Trimble was not consulted on that wording! To state it simply, consider the words of Anne E. Kornblut in her article published 04/08/03 in The Boston Globe, "Geography errors underscore Bush's low interest in Belfast."

it became abundantly clear that the breadth and depth of the Bush administration's understanding of Irish history and political subtleties is about as shallow as the commander-in-chief's vocabulary when engaged in extemporaneous drivel. May it please the right honorable court of public opinion, for example, White House press spokesman Ari Fleischer said that the President would be visiting Dublin but then adroitly corrected himself with a mea culpa of "I'm sorry, I'm sorry…I was not a geography major," (The Boston Globe, 04/08/03 Anne E. Kornblut).

ANd if you would have read the BBC article instead of being a fu[/b]cking cu[b]nt, you'd see that Clinton has visited Northern Ireland and Ireland to try to help things out more than ANY other president.
I'm no Clinton lover, but you're just wrong and dumb.
