Guardian – IRA orders end to armed campaign
BBC – How the IRA has reached this step
You don’t need to tell *me* how we got here… I know.
This only happened because we decided on the brave and intelligent step of invading Norway in response to the atrocities.
Note – Anything to do with Ireland, check Slugger O’Toole

It’s started already! On the BBC news today they claimed the IRA statement today was a direct consequence of 7/11 (their phrase not mine) and the resultant war against terrorism. Thereby completely nullifying the Good Friday Agreement, despite Tone’s ‘hand of history’ proclamation, and all of the negotiations and the cease fire which took place years before September 11th 2001.

Is anyone else getting spam from the Labour Party crowing about this as I am? I had to reply, calmly, that it’s fortunate for them they ordered the army occupy another country in time to ensure that we are never at peace for one day — peace: that state where all your soldiers are entirely within your undisputed borders and shooting at no one at all.
