Hillary Claims to be the Savior of Ireland

Not content to be the future Queen of the USA, Hillary is now claiming to be the broker of the peace settlement in Northern Ireland

"And for the first time they actually saw each other not as caricatures or stereotypes, but as human beings who actually had common experiences as mothers and wives and people," Clinton said. "One of the reasons why I'm running for president is to be constantly reaching out to try to bring people together to resolve conflicts and not let them fester and get worse."
In her book, Clinton describes hearing very similar sentiments from Protestant and Catholic women in Belfast in 1995. The difference: The women were already peace activists, not enemies who didn't recognize their shared humanity. "Because they were willing to work across the religious divide, they had found common ground," she wrote.
The story she told Saturday took place at Belfast's city hall, while the story in her book took place in a fish restaurant.
Her book does describe an event at Belfast City Hall on the same trip, a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony with President Clinton. Afterward, she said, leaders of the various factions stayed on separate sides of the room.
John O'Farrell, a former journalist from Northern Ireland who covered Clinton's visits there, said in a telephone interview that she promoted the involvement of women in politics and in the peace process, but he doubted that she had met with enemies who otherwise would not have spoken to each other. Rather, he said, she was working with people who were already promoting peace.
"Her heart was always in the right place, no one doubted that," said O'Farrell, who edited a magazine and did some freelance reporting for the Globe. "But the idea of her bringing together fiercely opposed combatants is a considerable exaggeration."

Here are the recollections of an Irish Protestant of the Clinton's 1995 visit:

I decided to go home for a visit. It happened to coincide with the Clinton visit in November 1995. I don't think I would have bothered going into Belfast to see the " IRA loving" Clintons but we had never seen an American President before.
It felt exciting with the Tv showing live coverage of his arrival and the Christmas Tree at Belfast City Hall had been donated from America.
Not many people on the Unionist Protestant side cared much for the Clintons or the Democrats as we knew they were Irish Catholic biased and never seemed to listen to our side.
Belfast was pretty crowded when we got there and the American security stood out a mile as they were all wearing long coats and were so tall and lots of them were Black which is a pretty rare sight in Northern Ireland!
Most of the crowds would have been Irish Catholic. Lots of street traders were selling two finger signs that lit up in red,white and blue, I bought one! {This is for the two-fingered salute many Irish Protestants gave the Clintons. A symbol of contempt similar to the more common middle finger}.
After waiting for ages Bill Clinton lit the Christmas Tree and gave a speech.
There was the usual Protestant child and catholic child brought out to read poems but at his reception in the City Hall the Unionist MPs and Sinn Fein/SDLP MPs wouldn't stand near each other or speak.
At other venues the Clintons were only met with Irish Catholics waving Irish Tricolours. Our Mps complained about their biased behaviour many times. They also attended other staged events.
In one of the towns was an effigy of Bill Clinton in a cage-to keep him away from Ulster women as he is a well known womaniser.
The comments in the Boston paper are correct she did not do anything to bring people together as the people she met were not enemies of each other.
The people of Northern Ireland are still "not together". There might not be any more car bombs but that is down to Tony Blair and his total appeasement of Sinn Fein. They don't need to kill to get what they want anymore,they can do what they like.
Banks still get robbed,people still get beaten and murdered but Sinn Fein are now above the law. Can't upset "the Peace process" by arresting any sinn fein/ira member.
Giving in to terrorism has collapsed the rule of law in Nothern Ireland, now there is no law for the {ex}terrorist but lots of law for everyone else.
It makes me cry that SinnFein are now ruling the country. Always remember, leopards never change their spots!
Keep another Clinton out of the White House.

If anything, the Clintons exacerbated the problems between Protestants and Catholics. Reminds me of when the PIAPS gave Suha Arafat a big kiss, right after the terrorist gave a speech denouncing the Israelis as baby killers.
