Freda; There are two very distinct issues. Please don't confuse them.
1. Is evidence needed before you make serious allegations against an organisation or against indiviuduals.
2. What is the solution to the mess in Northern Ireland?
Because contributors cannot present you with a quick fix solution to a complex problem does not that they don't have the right to refute the illogical stance of politicians in condemning Sinn Fein without evidence.
The problem of Northen Ireland is a a matter "of domestic British concern" as Margaret Thatcher was so fond of saying. And in a way she was right. The Problem was created by the British - they wanted control - (as they originally created the problems of the Middle East)- so the British should solve it democartically and according to the norms of natural justice.
