The Good Friday Accords were 307 years since the Battle of the Boyne. This is the event that really truly ripped apart the Protestants and the Catholics and they still fight over it to this day. The Orange Order repeatedly tries to march through Catholic neighbourhoods when they celebrate William of Orange's victory over James at the Battle of the Boyne. That's why the Irish tourism board recommends that visitors NOT come to Northern Ireland during the month of July. I'm so neutral over this issue... my relatives were part of the IRA and my grandfather was an Orangeman.
It was a real effort to bring both sides together because of the acrimony towards the other's religion. To say Hillary Clinton had a role in bringing these sides together is a real laugh.
I am willing to bet my Protestant and Catholic relatives will agree with each other for the first times in their lives that Hillary Clinton didn't have a role in the peace process.
