Clinton's actions have actually contributed to the rise in loyalist terrorist attacks.

He used US government funds to develop the Irish dimension of the Agreement instead of being neutral.

He also gave us Tom Constantine and others who carry Irish nationalist baggage instead of sending neutrals.

Perhaps some day he will see that he has indirectly contributed to the attacks on the little girls attending the Holy Cross School.

No thanks. I'm one of the natives of NI and your absurd comments are disgusting!

My kith and kin in America would have been part of the 1770s revolution.

William McKinley, the US President, is one of my McKinley relations. He would have known what to do with scum like you if you had threatened one of his own.

It's crucial that ALL terrorist groups are disarmed and disbanded. Blair and Ahern don't have the guts to do at home what they help Bush to do elsewhere.

If republicans are so proud of what they do why don't they call a spade a spade?

Martin McGuinness, Minister of Education, is the same Martin McGuinness, named as Chief of Staff of the Army Council.

Loyalist terror is being carried out by UDA/UFF and UVF groups. Their respective 'polital arms' are the UDP and PUP. They get around about 5% of the popular vote compared with 22% for their republican counterparts.

It's a shame Ambassador Egan turned up at the terrorist convention in Dublin. He looked like a businessman out of his depth in the terrorist quagmire.

Did you note that the terrorists, the spokesmen for the Most Oppressed People on Earth, held their bun fest in the plush surroundings of the ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIETY

They must be receiving too many American dollars or too much Colombian dope, even Afghan poppies!!

Well, as a Mic of both Catholic and Protestant ancestry, I was being faceteous about nuking NI - employing an argument of the absurd, but like all McKinley's I've ever met, you were too dense to figure that out. Too bad you don't know what to do, other than foam at the mouth in an impotent manner about what (insert gratuitous name drop here) gampa William would have done. I don't have to go running to my great uncle, (insert gratuitous name drop here) Tail Gunner Joe, to know how to deal with commie scum like you. blah blah blah...

Those who support Lord Britain never miss an opportunity to beat the press drums to get a dig in against the Irish. But who are the terrorists? A month ago Irish children had to run a gaunlet of stones to get to school and more recently this:

"police investigated the murder of Martin O'Hagan, the journalist shot dead in the street near his home in Lurgan, Co Armagh on Friday night. O'Hagan, a father of three, was walking with his wife when he was shot by a gunman who pulled up in a car. The Red Hand Defenders, a Loyalist splinter group, yesterday claimed responsibility for the attack. The group is a cover name used in the past by the Loyalist Volunteer Force and the Ulster Defence Association."

This shows the reason the Irish do not want to give up their guns. The Irish feel about gun control the same as Americans do. It will be like unilateral disarnament.

The Jewish people wanted their land back after 2000 years, so do the Irish. If the English treated Ireland like they treated Canada instead of endless 'paddywhacking' there would be no IRA.

Your republican terrorist friends, Sinn Fein/IRA, would have 'wasted' O'Hagan if he had written about their nefarious Mafia-type activities!!
