I don’t quite see your point, Max. Most (all?) of the Islamist terrorists so far have been ‘home grown’, loyal members of the community.

I think outside terrorist threats may now be taking away attention from domestic threats such as the IRA, scary to think that this might open the floodgates for violence. I found more info on the subject here, http://www.newsy.com/videos/violence_hits_northern_ireland/

I wonder how Chappaquidick Ted feels about this.

Teddy is getting Knighthood because just like King Arthur of auld he, too, has a lady in the lake.

Everyone knows that the Real IRA is precisely that: really the IRA. Disaffected members have been permitted or even ordered to carry out the recent attack so that Sinn Féin can ostentatiously turn them in, thereby taking them out.

Too bad for the soldiers and the pizza delivery boys.

“You see, the Israeli/Palestinians conflict is just like NI and we had to engage with “so-called” terrorists as part of the peace process to stop the terrorism. So, we have to talk to Hamas and Hezbollah. Look how well it turned out in NI”

Let me also pass on my condolences to the families for this shocking and tragic event.

My youngest sister currently lives in Belfast, and her fiancé has an abiding memory of his mother being held at gunpoint by British soldiers. Predictably the family thought similar to Adams that this was counter-productive (although they’re also attempting to ignore the pizza workers out of the picture).

And, yes, John Wight is bad and stupid and will never have any luck with me.

I cannot believe that these men will succeed in their aim of bringing the war back, again

It's very unlikely; I also suspect that the Peelers will track these terrorists down fairly soon. I don't think Sinn Fein's Martin Mc Guiness critiquing the government for rumours of deploying the Special Reconnaissance Regiment (formerly 14 Int) was particularly helpful.

And The Polish pizza delivery were “collaborators”? What utter scum. Yet Sinn fein can still only manage a grudging, weasel worded statement.

Interesting to see that John Wight is making it pretty clear where he stands: http://www.socialistunity.com/?p=3712

Mr Wight, one-time advisor to Tommy Sheridan, the man who lost the SSP tens of thousands of votes in one fell swoop when he announced that the IRA shouldn’t have stopped their campaign, he of activism in the Scottish Palestinian Solidarity Committee, the Edinburgh Anti-war Coalition – and on and on goes the list of very dodgy things about this man – not least his use of Nazi language, International Jewry’, in one his pieces.

On this page, http://www.socialistunity.com/?p=2052, he seems to be fantasising about setting himself up as some sort of hub for revolutionary movements and that now includes the Real IRA.

A very bad guy, stupid and conceited, but also dangerous. Here now is evidence of an axis of purpose between the anti-semitic left and the fascists of the Real IRA.
God help us.

I’m sure Adams and McGuinness are sincere in not wanting the war to break out again

But only because it would threaten their cushy jobs.
