well mr botswood learn to read. it's in the report and extensive exserpts were published in the economist bak in the late eightires, you can get the whole thing at any major canadian library. for canadians extensive excerpts were published in the globe and mail

ignorance is really no excuse after 900 years of war on foreign soil.

all the germans used to say "but we didn't know what was going on" after the second world war and no one with half a brain believes them.

and yes the elections in northern ireland have been jurry ridded as far as international standards are concerned. the editorilists at the time from the economist was willing to accept this at least partially.

for thos enot reading it the economist is the right wing british magizine sort of like time magizine but much more conservative . and in canada the globe and mail id also a conservative magazine
