Pitty we can't just get along.

If it can be sorted over in Ireland to an acceptable level surely there must be some hope for the Middle East :hmm:

Different temperaments, different mentalities, different cultural tradition, totally different underlying ideologies, totally different views on life and world and cosmos, God and all that stuff.

If you compare Ireland to the Middle East, then this is as naive as giving japan and germany after WWII as a comparing reason why one thought that the Iraq war would suceed in turning the country into a "democracy".

I have a bad feeling that 5 minutes after this War on Terror nonsense blows over, things will be SNAFU in Northern Ireland again.

I think the IRA was afraid of being linked to AQ, and then the British Government would be free to pull out all the stops against them.
