Sorry, but we are all entitled to live here [NI] and we have to agree to differ on those things we can't agree on.

We signed up to an Agreement that was relatively fair to the two competing aspirations but the Governments, sadly, paid more heed to the demands of the terrorists than the needs of the rest and the terrorists have been 'taking over' local communitities, Mafia-style.

You're right, Norn Iron, the Agreement is the only way forward. Some of the people on this board seem to think that if Britain would just pull out, then all would be rosy in the garden. They seem to forget the small matter of almost one million people who want no part of a united Ireland. Are they just going to go quietly? The vast majority of Irish people just want whatever accomodation which will bring peace. Unification will not: it will just result in a reversal of paramilitary roles in relation to the state. Powersharing with involvement of the two governments is the only way. Republicans must accept that a united Ireland will not bring peace. Unionists must accept Irish involvement.
