Jump To Comment: 1 2It would be wise to ignore most of the mainstream media hype about the IRA's destruction of its arsenal
Harry Browne accurately summarizes Gerry Adams's article in the last "Village" magazine lauding Bill Clinton's so-called "Global initiative.
That said, Sinn Féin, as things stand today, will gather a significant level of left-wing electoral support in the next twenty - six county state elections, due, at the latest, in May 2007. They might not succeed so easily, if faced with a serious left-wing challenge. The basic platform of such an alternative must be unconditional opposition to coalition with capitalist parties.
In this sense, the proposals made by Séamus Healy TD and others are extremely important. It remains to be seen if the words are followed by initiatives.
In the six county statelet it is most likely that direct rule will continue for the foreseeable future. Let's be thankful for small mercies - who, in their right mind, could support the deranged proposal to elect Ian Paisley as "Prime Minister" of a sweetshop, never mind his beloved "Ulster"?
Remember this stark fact when you continue to hear the mantra : "implement" the Good Friday Agreement.
Just to be clear on all this, I recommend a reading of Paul Bew's accurate analysis of how the Paisley outfit - the Democratic Unionist Party - is shredding the Good Friday Agreement. More and more, they are pushing for a straight return to Unionist majority rule in Stormont.

It remains to be seen if the British and Irish governments would risk giving the Unionists devolved power - at the moment that is highly unlikely.
Stormont was suspended in 1972 because the Unionists brought their state to the brink of collapse.
"Doctor" Paisley, claimed that the clergy who witnessed the destruction of the republican army's weapons were "IRA appointees"!! The ageing super-bigot has not changed too much.
If you were Tony Blair or Bertie Ahern, would you risk returning the Unionists to power in Stormont?
I think memories of 1972 might convince our dear leaders to hold back on that one.
Angelina Jolie has never had collagen in her lips she's always looked like that. If you're going to slag people off for having plastic surgery atleast aim it at someone who's had some... like Bersculoni??
