Hm. Perhaps the police (what is the RUC's new name now?? I don't mean the Pope's Special Forces, as Paisley seems to fear it will become) should surround Adams in his compound & confine him to 2 rooms?

Look, Guest Eire, you continue to make valid points. But SF HAS competed democratically, and with considerable success, as a political party in NI *and* now in the Republic. Increased from one TD to 5 (just missed 6) down South last election. / As, yes, have also Rev. Paisley's rejectionist Unionists done well politically in the North. Democracy, albeit imperfectly as McGrath says, is occurring. Indeed, SDLP is hard-pressed, electorally, by SF; as is Trimble by Paisley. Moderation, hard to come by I guess, is needed.
