Thread Name: BS: The Irish Peace Process
Subject: RE: BS: The Irish Peace Process
Lol! I don't know where the notion that everyone else is living peacefully comes from. Because 'stopping this nonsense' is pretty much what 'everyone else' needs to be doing too isn't it? I must admit to avoiding world news, pretty much because there's always some nonsense going on everywhere you look. And most of the nonsense going on, has been going on for years and years.

I mean, if people aren't causing mass havock by invading other countries, then people are experiencing mass disruption by getting invaded. And if people aren't either causing havock by invading other people, or in their turn getting invaded, then they're living with the on-going disturbances of having been invaded... So much nonsense going on with everyone, quite hard to see who's not being silly in the world, or when it's ever been sensible!

Seriously, possibly the most impartial option for Ireland, is to have an Ireland that is cleanly separate from the UK. It makes sense now that the UK is gradually (and I suspect inevitably) being dismantled. Ireland would be comprised of two distinct but closely co-operating countries of Ulster and Eire. If the day comes where democratically the majority in Ulster desire to re-unite with the South, there will no-doubt still be ruptions. But I suspect it will eventually come and hopefully with time, the various factions will co-operate in the process.
