Also, Sinn Fein didn't want America to retaliate for September 11th, nor does it support the US using the airport at Shannon to transport troops.

Yes, this is about right.

There is no real difference between Sinn Fein and the IRA... it should be destroyed just the same. It's like the difference between the Nazi Party and the S.S.

Of course, Bill Clinton broke a federal law by letting Adams into the country in the first place, since Adams was on a terror watch list. Not only did he allow Adams a visa to enter the country, he allowed him to raise funds on US soil.

Make that two federal laws Clinton broke (Regarding Adams, that is. The total number of federal laws broken by Tubby is still being calculated). But that was the price to get Ted Kennedy's full bluster in defense of the Clinton crimes.

"The Bush administration now considers combating the Farc to be a part of the war against terrorism, a shift in strategy that by extension makes the IRA and Mr Adams designated enemies of the United States."

Whatever progress the IRA/Sinn Fein had been making, towards being a part of a solution in NI, has effectively been pissed away.

I cannot fathom what possible benefit for Irelands long troules, could be achieved by mucking around in South America.

They had at hand the opportunity to demonstrate readiness, for a peaceful and prosperous future in Ireland (north and south).

I've got no dog in the fight, as my ancestors departed Londonderry in 1718, for more faire climes across the seas, in Maine, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Sided with Britain in the Revolution. Later migrated to Minnesota.

Adams is a thug and a terrorist.

I was quite disappointed in Bush when he met with Brownie. Glad to see that he's decided to have nothing to do with him or the rest of the chuckies. I hope the decision is permanent.
