This year, Gerry Adams, president of Sinn Fein, was snubbed by President George “Never met a war he didn’t like” Bush and many congressional leaders, unlike last year when he was invited to take part in a St. Patrick’s Day Parade. According to Time, March 28, Congressmen are giving five sisters a lot of attention, after their brother was killed in a bar fight. Two of the killers were members of the Irish Republican Army, so the sisters have become a poster family to try and set back Sinn Fein and the Republican movement. The article admits that Adams has said there are plans to disband the IRA. He also said the act was not ordered by the IRA. It was not an IRA operation.
Adams was not snubbed by everyone. He met with leaders of the AFL-CIO, the New York State Federation of Labor and Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, according to the People’s Weekly World, March 26. Adams spoke to a packed audience of labor members.
This proves again how out of touch our president is with the rest of the country. Everyone, except our brainless political leaders realizes that the war in Northern Ireland is over. A recent report on Northern Ireland on “Nightline,” said that people are happy to live there for the first time in years. As for Bush, he can’t accept peace in any country unless every opponent of his right-wing agenda is dead.
