I've often wondered what would happen if the IRA just stood up one day and said "Right, that's it". What if they were to disband, give up all their weapons, and declare their commitment to peaceful political dialogue? It would throw world opinion firmly into their court. It would negate the main oposition's reasons for refusing to deal.
I believe Ulster is on the brink of uniting with the Republic, it's just a very long brink at the moment. It needs a major breakthrough. I think this would tip the scales.
I'd be interested to hear what Chalice thinks about it.
