Did someone say "The Peace Process is almost complete&q
Deja-vu feeling all over again.
About 1 week ago they report that the IRA or some part of it is all set to destroy all their weapons and have it witnessed by someone from the loyalists or at least provide photos of it. All their weapons. Forever. End of story.
Then as the days progress it seems that that wasn't quite what they said. Then it looks like there is no way they will provide a photo. Then it looks like they won't do any of it. At all.
A year or so ago, it was Gerry Adams saying something extremely clearly, then saying he was misunderstood, then saying it was never the case at all.
Each time it looks like the 'politicians' are all set to do the right thing, clear the boards and bring the whole ugly mess too an end, and then a few days later apparently there is no way they would do such a thing as long as those other guys are on the other side.
South Africa got over the instutionalised apartheid thing reasonably quickly. I remember thinking in the '80s that this was never going to go away, but it did. Why can't the 'politicians' get their act together, say the words, shake hands, do the deal and let the police get on with their job of going after the gougers and gangsters cowering under the cover of the paramilitary title ?
