#1 thank God, im very glad that this violence has stopped, The Irish and the English(northern ireish and the rest of europe)should be brothers, and the catholics and the protestants should put their swords aside and see how ridiculus their fight is, we share the same values and we are the same people , we are all christians and should not waste our energy fighting each other.

PAX in ireland

#2 Supporters say the move, which comes against the backdrop of worldwide revulsion over terrorism, is designed to revive the 1998 Good Friday Peace Agreement and the power-sharing institutions that have been suspended.

So it's not that they regret being terrorist a$$holes, they just don't want the negative PR. How do you say "hudna" in Gaelic?

#4 Is this a realization that, in spite of the fact the two factions have great differences, differences with the folks from the outside, ie Islamoterrorists makes their differences look miniscule?

Or, is is so much hot air?

#5 Even if the IRA lays downs its arms for good, Northern Ireland could still be bogged down by bickering between Catholic and Protestant parties.

No problem; "bickering" is another word for peaceful politics.

#8 IRA members have trained Columbia's FARC in advanced bombing and sabotage and are reported to have trained some Palestinians and other Islamacists, as well as running drugs and guns.

I think somebody in the IRA hierarchy realized they were on the verge of suicide by Merkins, if not by Brits, because all it would take would be 1 documented instance and public opinion would support serious and sustained eradication of them.

#10 If our Merkin IRA supporters quit all financial aid (as happened here) - the end really would be near

#11 I think skeptical has got it. The IRA leadership may have decided they don't want to appear on SOCOM issue playing cards.
