If the IRA can do it..so can the Palestinians...

Let's hope the Palestinians can learn something from this.

The IRA instructed its members yesterday to give up violence and embrace peace. The unprecedented statement also ordered its units to abandon their weapons.

The Provisionals' leadership said the organisation would pursue a democratic strategy and give up the armed struggle in which it murdered 1,800 people during three decades of the Troubles

Let's hope the IRA really means it, and that they do truly disarm.
