I have often heard it said that the good friday peace agreement for Northern Ireland isn't worth the paper it's printed on. This has recently been confirmed by the recent attack by the IRA on British soldiers:
Two soldiers killed in a brutal attack on Army barracks in Ulster yesterday were shot execution-style as they lay injured on the ground, police said today.
Four others were injured in the attack at the Massereene Barracks, outside Antrim, which has been blamed on dissident republicans.
The dead soldiers, aged in their early twenties, were dressed in desert fatigues and were due to fly out of RAF Aldergrove, just a few miles away from their base, in the early hours of today.
So what did Gerry Adams, leader of Sinn Fein (and former IRA commander) have to say?
Gerry Adams, the Sinn Fein president, called the murders "wrong and counter-productive".
He said that it was an attack on the peace process and those responsible "have no support, no strategy to achieve a united Ireland". He said "the logic" of Sinn Fein's position "is that we support the police in the apprehension of those involved in last night's attack".
To Adams, it is just 'counter-productive'. He doesn't offer any condolences to the families of the murdered soldiers. Only 'the logic' of Sinn Fein's position.
