John Hume, Gerry Adams, Albert Reynolds and John Major did the most difficult foundation work in the North. Mo Mowlan did fantastic negotiating between the 2 parties. Tony Blair and Bertie got too much of the praise for other people's work. Tony Blair has the typical superficial charm that you would find in people of his nature. John Major was simply too dull and boring to charm people, even though he done a much better job.
The incident today was silly and uncalled for, but os was the invasion of Iraq which killed nearly half a million people.

Those scum bags are out for every cause now that suits them. I am not an apologist for Blair, but he did a lot of work for peace here, but does it matter to those rent a mobs, not at all ? And where are they about North Korea, Mugabe's scorched earth policy, Iran's stoning to death for adultery and many other causes when they look the other way.
Newsey anyone involved in politics in Dublin know these people and I am sure even the most hardened left wing posters here will agree we all know these people.
They attend protest after protest no matter what the cause and they just love the voilence. Newsey they are scum and that is being kind to these vermon.
He has got your jets going!!!!
I don't believe I have ever read such impassioned posts from you.
I give huge credit to TB for the peace in the North......the right man at the right time.......
But the war in Iraq is a totally different matter. Given how bush/blair invaded, other countries could now be invaded and there would be virtually no way of stopping them.

When the rest of us were marching in Dublin against the Iraq war, pompous little creep Bono was inviting Tony Blair to lunch in Dalkey.
I think we would serve us better to throw eggs and shoes at our own who are mugging and raping us with with thuggish politics.lets put our eneries into a revolution where we can make change!
