ard mhaca,

I agree with you 100%. In most of the reports I've been reading of the IRA's decision to disarm, no mention of the pipe bomb attacks, no mention of the terror campaign against the primary school, mostly just more calls for dissident republicans to disarm--and the occassional "obligatory" call to the loyalist paramilitaries to decommission.

Of course, no calls for the loyalist paramilitaries to get back on ceasefire, no calls for the loyalist paramilitaries to end their violence against the Catholic communities, not much there at all.

Like I said, I've not much faith in the British government to do this right. In every other circumstance where the Brits have pulled out of the colonies, they have left a civil war behind them. It appears they are right on schedule in the north.
