    Dissidents 'behind station blast'

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/6897054.stm

    Are these people total morons or what? Exactly what part of the fact that the majority of people in the north want politics and democracy to work and want nothing to do with violence do they not understand?????

    If the nationalists of the north had wanted the violence to continue then they wouldn't have elected Sinn Féin would they?

    The vast majority of Nationalists in the North never wanted violence. Sinn Féin didn't become the largest party until they had moved from the armalite, at least to a large extent.

    Michael Collins blew up stations, didn't he?
    So did Francis Hughes.

    The difference is the Good Friday Agreement. Any attack on that is an attack on Irish democracy and must be crushed.

    I just don't see the sense of it and to be honest a pipe bomb is not going to do much damage to a well guarded PSNI station. The only possible casualty would be an innocent passerby or the bomber him/herself. I just don't see any point to it. It is obvious the vast majority of people who used to be sympathetic to the IRA are now placing their faith in Sinn Fein's peaceful strategy.

    I don't want to see the jails filled with people like this bomber and I don't want to see anyone injured or killed.

    The law of both the north & south. That is what democracy does, it upholds the law.

    Irish people cant express their own sovereignty unless its is put to them under the terms of a british administration and backed by british sympathisers here in ireland. Thats a fact/

    Anyway i dont need to talk to you about legitimacy,
    'as long as the crown forces employed by the british to enforce british rule on a part of this island are in power,means they're legitimate targets for republicans'
    That was always the way of republicans and always will be until the british withdraw from this island.

    GFA,Anglo irish treaty, or ex republicans telling us that doing such action are wrong- means ************************ all to me.

    The only way i would consider not using violence if the british were to remain on this island would be if a referendum was put to the whole of the island on unity without british terms in it
    Its funny all i'm asking for is democracy, the same democracy the brits give to their own people but not us.

    Why do you side with the british in what they're doing to this country, what they've done and god knows what they have in store for the future.
    'given the shocking and appalling culture of collusion and illegality' within the RUC, 'one would wonder what other unacceptable practices remain hidden from the public'.
