Negotiations Seek End to IRA Threat | |||
2004-09-16 | |||
The British and Irish governments summoned rival Northern Ireland parties Thursday to a moat-encircled castle in hopes of crafting a new peace package for the British territory. But progress in the expected three-day diplomatic push at medieval Leeds Castle east of London could depend, crucially, on the actions of an organization not officially at the table: the outlawed Irish Republican Army.

#12 The alternative being to demonstrate to them their incomplete understanding of the verses they've memorized. I assign homework: generally several books to read, and a list of questions to ask their minister in order to achieve proper understanding of the basis of their faith. Not only do they not come back, but nobody rings our doorbell for months afterwards. |

#11 *crickets* What you hear around this house when the JW comes down the street. Even the dawgs know the routine, duck and cover, no noise, no movement and wait at least an hour longer than you think necessary. |

#6 BD no point trying to reason with IRA supporters. It was my first experience with the type. Then the ladies with Watchtower started knocking at the door on Saturdays. |

#5 dls - you ever met 'antiwar'? She's a terror apologist too. You'd get on well. |

#4 The IRA will probably disarm when the Prods do..........that is to say, when hell freezes over. It takes a while to forget 700 years of British "stewardship". |

#1 It's being held in a castle with a draw-bridge. No-one gets out unless they want to swim the moat. An agreement of sorts could be likely. |
