IRA Disarms
Some good news! The Irish Republican Army has renounced the use of violence.
I have always been sympathetic to the cause of Irish nationalism, having read about how the Irish have suffered at the hands of the British, especially the harsh anti-Catholic measures adopted under Cromwell and perpetuated until the 19th century. On the other hand, the IRA has been one of the most brutal organizations in modern history. I hope that the IRAs can keep their vow, and I hope that the Unionists reciprocate.

Are they planning to change the name of their organization? "Irish Republican Disarmy?"
Well, the Salvation Army has renounced violence, as well, and they're still an Army.
I would just like to mention that Damnation Army is the name of a Swedish punk band. Thank you.
