Explosion Rocks Belfast Street
http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-1136655,00.html

An explosion has rocked a street in east Belfast - sparking fears of new violence linked to a loyalist paramilitary feud.

Police were called to the blast at a house in London Road, close to where rival terrorists have been locked in a developing shooting war.

1. Dissent among the Orange....
"It was part of the fall-out between the LVF and rival Ulster Volunteer Force."

(from the linked article)

5. Get real

Not everything is connected to bushco, y'know? It's an extraordinarily Americo-centric view, in any case.

Oh, I know, I know: You wouldn't put anything past them...:eyes:

6. Not really. Explosions in Ulster have very little fallout in Co. Clare
Edited on Mon May-24-04 12:52 PM by veggiemama
down here in the Republic of Ireland. Besides, Bushco has had the area around Shannon WarPort in a lockdown for over a year. Should the Ahern gov't go ahead with the Chimperor's one-million-euro, one-day visit, there "a hundred-thousand unwelcomes" awaiting Chimpy. And if the 11 June elections here in Eire don't bode well for Fianna Fail, the Chimp may be disinvited!

9. For I'm the one who left dark Ireland's shore,
Yet I'm the one who dreamt our basic dream
In the Old World while still a serf of kings,
Who dreamt a dream so strong, so brave, so true,
That even yet its mighty daring sings
In every brick and stone, in every furrow turned
That's made America the land it has become.
O, I'm the man who sailed those early seas
In search of what I meant to be my home--
For I'm the one who left dark Ireland's shore,
And Poland's plain, and England's grassy lea,
And torn from Black Africa's strand I came
To build a "homeland of the free."


Let America be America Again...by Langston Hughes

EVERY DEATH CREATES NEW ENEMIES
MORE TERRORISTS
MORE DANGER
MORE DEATH
AND REMEMBER...
HE IS JUST GETTING STARTED...
BUSH'S PLAN FOR PEACE
IS THE PEACE OF THE COMMON GRAVE

LET AMERICA BE AMERICA AGAIN
