[QUOTE="shtove, post: 165306"] You're an optimistic chap to think there's been a resolution. But I think Whitehall has managed to clear this one off its books - at the expense of the UK entity. If Scots independence follows, then you might have a final resolution because the opposing sides will be backed by equal hinterlands (Dublin and Edinburgh), without interference from London - but how likely is that when it will lead to the destruction of the Labour Party? The IRA is an army, with an established chain of command, which was imitated by the Israelis in the 1940s. The IRA's British terror campaign in the 1970s-90s was carried out by a cell organisation, so that has a similarity with AQ. But the IRA also has a political party in Sinn Fein, which has spent over thirty years building an electoral base throughout Ireland, and that's what led to negotiations - AQ has nothing like that, and holds democracy in contempt. And who needs a conspiracy theory to hold Washington politics in contempt? Read the list of contributors to the campaigns of federal parliamentarians - they are ruled by bankers! Bugger 9/11 and "Islamo-fascists" - the outrageous indebtedness of America and its citizens (and illegal immigrants) is a much greater danger to the values of the Founding Fathers. And Britain has a similar problem. [/QUOTE]
