"Now they can go back to terrorizing 8 year old Catholic schoolgirls as they walk to school"

And nothing of the sort ever happens with protestant school children, I suspose stones throw themselves. I do not condone the actions taken by these people during the Holy Cross row, but if I apply the same understanding to the protestors that some apply to SF/IRA I can understand their frustration.

Maybe go as far as calling what is happening in that area as ethnic cleansing, or does violence just visit the Catholics.

In no way do I agree with any terrorist,loyalists are a spent force, as they should be. For me personally I can't wait to see the back of them, they are nothing but bigots out to get what they can. I do not wear rose tinted glasses.

Gerry Adams stated that the murder of R.Connolly(sp?) was not a crime, in other words the IRA do not commit crimes, and people buy into that.

The point is simple I am not saying the IRA did the robbery, what I am saying is that Orde and Ahern have the resources to make the statements that they made.

When we have people who live in a genuine fear of terrorists the concessions that SF has got does not make it look like SF/IRA are bending over backwards, quite the opposite TB is bendin over and taking it up the --=--= How many Army posts ,police stations etc are being taken down much to the dismay of people in the border areas. Maybe their feelings should not be taken into consideration.

This is the problem with supporting terrorists of any kind, it is the people who just want to get on that are caught in the middle.And what happens to them if they speak out, they get labelled with the same old tripe they are either loyalist or nat/rep thugs.

If the truth be told many in Ireland accept that it was the IRA behind the robbery, no agenda just the fact.

Thankfully all this will not stop the peace process if people want it they will have it.
