After the London bombings for the second time last week, it’s good to have some good news to report at long last.
The IRA has finally agreed to down arms and fight its cause for a united Ireland peacefully and through the democratic channels. After 30 years of violence, including the horrors of the Manchester bombing, they have decided to put their arms beyond use by January 2006.
The question is though, why did it take 30 years of on and off cease-fires and the killing of hundreds of people to decide that violence isn’t the answer?

Another question, and I'll be brief with not much knowledge of what has actually happened, is their claim geniune, and if so, how can we negotiate with such a terror organisation on solely a political level?
Not sure where I stand on all of that and whether their announcement was oportunism or simply a reaction to the recent London bombings. As usual, I'd love to read some feedback!
