Having been born into northern Protestant Republican family, I take no small offence to your comment, Tim... take out the "the" to mitigate the sillyness of your comment. Fact is, England and NATO have fulmented violence in Ireland for reasons which have nothing to do with sectairian hatred or democracy. It is no cooincidence that secret negotions with the IRA began when the Soviet Union broke up, and NATO did not have to guard the Scappa flow in the same manner, and the Republic put nutrality aside to let NATO use Irish airbases to bomb Irac, suddunly it was possible to talk to "terrorists". Ian Pasley is not the problem, he is the puppet who out lived his use to the puppetmaster.
As ever looking for truth and reconcilliation and PEACE!
No offence I hope
