I don't know anyone who thinks of Ireland as an "unarmed" society. Of course it is full of guns. And if the Republicans stil; had the men and the stomach for the fight, and if they hadn't just been irretrievably weakened by infiltration and the ceasefires, they'd just go back to their armourers and make their own weapons (the bombs that destroyed buildings at Canary Wharf, Broadgate in the City of London and the Arndale Centre in the middle of Manchester were home made, with great ingenuity. Likewise the mortar which was used to attack Downing Street with astonishing accuracy). The old boys who did the work in South Armagh "haven't gone away, you know".
On the other hand anyone who things MI5 (or MI6) are restricted in their operations to the UK, and so to Northern Ireland, should form a queue over here where I will sell them a used car and a jackalope ranch.
Ludwig, I meant "officially" you know, like for the "Tourist Business."
It'd be bad P.R. if it got out that "Mrs Callahan" who runs the B&B down the boreen had occaisional "guests" checking in at 0300 some mornings or "hardware" buryied out in the fields with the sheep.
Point is people don't like having their countries invaded.
They've been going at it for what, 800 years in Ireland now?
You'd figure that Bush or at least someone on his staff with an i.q. over 100 would have figured that out.
Or, we could just say that the U.S. Army and Marines are,...."world citizens like Iron here, just over for a visit and excercising their,..."world citizenship!"
I know a *little* bit about certain things in certain parts of Ire but there's a whole bunch that I don't know about.
