Irish republicans try to blow up Belfast police building

I am sure they do not all agree, nor do we here, that is why we have a democratic vote, they should be allowed the same opportunity there.

But my point is who should have a democratic vote? The entire island, or each county?

Funny, the northern english, they don't seem to be getting along so well today, or in the past. I am not sure what you are referring to, where is this peaceful working relationship you are suggesting exists there?

I assume you mean Northern Irish? [ame=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Ireland_Executive]Northern Ireland Executive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]

Well, then why not let all the islands - the entire UK - vote on it? That would be even more democratic.

If Irish can separate from the UK, why can't the Northern Irish separate from Ireland?

The entire Island was allowed to vote for the Good Friday/Belfast agreement. They voted yes.

No, they didn't, this was a vote that took place in northern ireland.

This was a concession, nothing more, to try and end the violence, it was not what you preported it to be. That said, there has never been a vote to return Ireland to one sovereign nation, nor do I expect there will be. The violence will continue until the invaders are expelled, that is just the way it is. The british empire has carved up the planet, and much trouble has come of their imperialism, I am just happy to know it is still so close to home, and they continue to feel the ill affects of their rape and pillaging

Well god-willing it wont. A few psychopaths don't represent the majority of Catholics who support Sinn Fein in being part of this agreement. Again explain how Northern Irish protestants are "invaders" and you are not? And how do you suggest this ethnic cleansing take place? Ild like to see some evidence of this banana republic idea as well, economically and socially and politically its been working quite well.

First, there is no god, if these people would come to this simple conclusion, this might settle half of their problems straight away. Secondly, we are all invaders, but of course we now well outnumber the american indians, and the majority rules, as sad as that fact is, it is a fact. Unfortunately for the northern english, they are not the majority, they just have the power of the british army behind them. To get back to the indians though, they do have a right to their reservations, but what right do the english have to a like reservation, they are indeed the invader, not the indigenous people, so this silly anaolgy fails miserably.

Finally, working well, really? no one is suggesting that these people be expelled, just their conflicting government rule, that is all, one country, one government.

Well as regards Northern Ireland

Also we need to define on what basis the entire Island of Ireland can be considered a "country". Finally we need to define how the protestant population would be dealt with in a united Ireland that they would fight not to be part of?

Working well? Yes, ive provided examples on several ocasions. Though to put it simply look at NI during the 80s and look at it now, seams like a no brainer for me.

I do not expect the rapists to ever give any ground, but I have stated my position, and I hope that the IRA continues their fight.
