This is one event they can blame on Clinton

Edited on Thu Aug-05-04 11:24 PM by lottie244

The IRA has been observing a ceasefire since 1997, and in 1998 the Good Friday Agreement was signed, setting up a devolved government in Belfast to share power between the province's pro-British Protestant majority and pro-Irish Catholic minority.

But while violence has fallen sharply since the worst days of the 'Troubles' – the local name for a 30-year conflict which claimed more than 3,600 lives – political progress has been slow.
