a historic moment?
The IRA has announced that it's war with Britain is over.
We should remember that the IRA had a political wing, Sinn Fein, which operated as a political party whose objectives could be addressed by parliamentary means of negoitation and compromise.
Pity about the Ulster paramilitaries. The loyalist paramilitaries show no signs of giving up their guns and their ceasefires have to be taken with a grain of salt.
