BBC wrote:The IRA has put all of its weapons beyond use, the head of the arms decommissioning body has said.
General John de Chastelain made the announcement at a news conference accompanied by the two churchmen who witnessed the process.

"We are satisfied that the arms decommissioned represent the totality of the IRA's arsenal."

Welcoming the move, Prime Minister Tony Blair said IRA decommissioning had been "finally accomplished".

The general said: "We have observed and verified events to put beyond use very large quantities of arms which we believe include all the arms in the IRA's possession. Their statement said: "The experience of seeing this with our own eyes, on a minute-to-minute basis, provided us with evidence so clear and of its nature so incontrovertible that at the end of the process it demonstrated to us - and would have demonstrated to anyone who might have been with us - that beyond any shadow of doubt, the arms of the IRA have now been decommissioned."

I saw the title and felt really bad. How would Irishmen be able to drink with no arms? They'd have no identity.....it'd be like Italian women with no facial hair.

Don't be so pessimistic -> the pint glass is half full !

The terrorists (not the "real" IRA) are now terrorists, not "the ira"

It's another step in the right direction... now the uvf etc have to make decisions

---------
there is no real ira anymore... just idealists! thats not to say they have no power.. just no backing...

uvf -> ulster volunteer force - etc (for people who don't know!)

They were being outcompeted out of the terrorist market by Hamas, we should file a lawsuit against Hamas for monopolizing the terrorist business.

carefull!!!
i wouldn't bring in other groups...

were on thin ice already... ;)

but yeah.. your right in a way.... the situation the world is in now, NO terrorist group can justify themselves
I include the ira as terrorists now because an army represents the people.. they don't represent me! (I still understand "the cause" ;) )

Tiocfaidh ar la -> would be nice... but aint gonna happen.. not in our lifetime.... may happen that The Ireland Of Ireland will become One... but half of the people from the north (who rightly have their say!).. will not be happy .... THATS NOT A FREE IRELAND!

Sorry to go on folks.. didn't mean too but I wanted to let you know my point of view.. and hey... It's our little community here...
so

Slainte
Ken

(Tiocfaidh ar la -> Irish for Our Day Will Come)

Yes.. I had a Great weekend... plenty of "socialising" and met up with a few old friends..

And why wouldn't we be in good humor? with an pentium m on offer

i'm running on that same cpu (p-m 760) right now... unfortunately, there's something wrong with my motherboard (thank God for advanced rma'ing). however, i'm still gonna be iffy about buying an asus motherboard ever again. they're such a pain to try and update and whatnot, too.

anyways, yeah, having a sense of humor is cool... hopefully, the ira wasn't having a sense of humor when they said they don't have anymore arms...

Excellent, I like my ale, let me tell ya; pilsner beers are ok, but ale is nice and strong, just the way I like em, lol; btw, concerning the man with no arms, hell, if he could train himself enough he could grab the beer with his feet and enjoy a chug, lol.
