I note that the IRA have now decided to stop being terrorists (yeah right).
The White house said it understood that "the IRA and its members will no
longer have any contact with any foreign paramilitary and ---------
organisations".
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/4720863.stm
However, our whining ----wit spinless wonder of a prime-minister, who has
been responsible for letting these murdering bastards out of gaol on the
grounds that they are political prisoners, said it was a "step of
unparalleled magnitude".
Somehow If Al Quaeda terrorists renounced bombs, I can't see Bush reacting
with praise and claims that it was the greatest thing ever.
