Considering one side fly the flag of Israel and the other the Palestinian flag Donuel, sending in every radical Islmao fascist Al-Qida terrorist we can lay our hands on, would only add to the divide.

Nice try though. And like Bin laden the IRA haven't gone away you know.

It is now one year since the Good Friday Agreement was concluded. Last May it was emphatically endorsed by the people, North and South, and as such it now represents their democratic will.

This somehow does not uphold the assertions made that unionists did not want the GFA to work.

Try this link it may put the unionist views into some perspective and show that the problems of the GFA lie with both sides.

The unionists have been waiting since 1999 for the disbandment of the IRA here is some of the declaration :

Numerous prisoners, in both jurisdictions, have benefited from mechanisms providing for their accelerated release.

Against this background there is agreement among all parties that decommissioning is not a precondition but is an obligation deriving from their commitment in the Agreement, and that it should take place within the time-scale envisaged in the Agreement, and through the efforts of the Independent International Commission on Decommissioning.

Sinn Fein have acknowledged these obligations but are unable to indicate the time scale on which decommissioning will begin. They do not regard the Agreement as imposing any requirement to make a start before the establishment of the new institutions. The UUP do not wish to move to the establishment of the new institutions without some evident progress with decommissioning.

The lack of urgency by SF to get the IRA to disband as per obligation above led to the suspension of the GFA, as SF got many concessions from the GFA it is within reason that SF/IRA gave some themselves.

Trimble did acknowledge the decomissioning of weapons as a good response which gave credence to the GFA and kept the ant-GFA unionist at bay. In other words he wanted the GFA to work and still does.
