Republican and loyalist terrorists are still flexing their muscles with little criticism from Blair and Ahern:

Hundreds more exiled by Ulster death threats

More than 700 people have been forced to flee from their homes in Northern Ireland because of paramilitary death threats in the past year, an increase of more than 50 per cent on 2000.

Terrorism in all forms should be defeated!!!

Yeah, romantically, historically I'd love a united Ireland. But not thru' violence, terrorism or anything associated with it. I think...that's the view of the populice in the Republic :-)

BTW...Norn Iron Happy New Year, I ALWAYS enjoy yer perspective on things over here :-)
