GUEST,Tír Chonaill	Catholic Priest clears his chest (317* d)	RE: Catholic Priest clears his chest	26 Oct 05
.... and another thing... Where do you get off on the idea that the IRA leadership foresaw 9/11 and decided to get in there quick and strike some sort of deal before all hell broke loose? Where has that arrogant line of thinking got you in the past, Teribus? What difference would a 'War on Terror' have made to us? What would you have done? Carpet-bomb the North? Don't think so; White & Western, and the media would have a field day.. Arrest every Irish man, woman and child over the age of 14? Yeah right! Watch the Diaspora come into its own .... Fire is not fought with fire, mate. Talks and discussions will always have to be made. Getting the British to the table was a long and hard struggle, but don't confuse stalemate for defeat. Stalemate had been a condition of the north of Ireland since 1922, so don't come on as if this was something new to us. Everybody wants peace, Teribus. We have fought long and hard for it. We deserve it now
