1. "the PMOS said that first and foremost what was clear was that the violence was to be condemned"

   Yup, that’s about right. Condemn it out of hand – before you know the slightest thing about it. But it’s ok, of course, for us to bomb the living shit out of Iraq and Afghanistan; that kind of state-sponsored violence is to be condoned, indeed encouraged…

2. "Attempted murder could not be justified in any way and we should be clear that this was attempted murder"

   Bloody hell! Judge, jury & executioner, this bloke is…

   Would anyone bet against American involvement, however indirectly, to take the eyes of the international community away from New Orleans for a little while?

3. American involvement??? PLEASE!!! If Bush is that desperate he really is in bad shape.

   The protestant people in areas like the Shankill Road in Belfast have been feeling increasingly disenfranchised and side-lined, as they observe a political process in which all of the concessions seem to be going to Sinn Fein.

   Of course this strengthens the hand of Ulster paramilitaries groups such as the Ulster Volunteer Force and Ulster Defence Association. I’m surprised actually that this outbreak didn’t happen sooner.

   Hopefully the recent decommissioning by the RA will encourage other paramilitaries to lay down their arms.

5. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it! You’re obviously not yet fully aware of the mainstream media’s diversionary tactics :oD

   And anyway; I didn’t say America WAS involved; I said would you bet AGAINST it though? I wouldn’t.
