...Russia's Racists You quoted Yuri Belyayev, the leader of the St. Petersburg neo-Nazi Freedom Party [Aug. 9], as saying that unless the Russian government recognizes his ultra-right-wing group and agrees to share power, the Nazis will be forced to "launch our version of Sinn Fein to keep talking to the government and our version of the I.R.A. to practice terror." This disturbed young man is grossly misinformed. The I.R.A. was not attempting to wipe out the Unionist population of Northern Ireland, but fought a guerrilla war against the British army to attain Irish sovereignty...
...Petersburg. Belyayev now frets that Putin is not a tough enough leader, and the country is disintegrating under the influx of nonwhite immigrants. Unless the Kremlin formally recognizes the neo-Nazis and shares political power, he says, the movement will be forced "to launch our version of Sinn Fein to keep talking to the government and our version of the I.R.A. to practice terror." Belyayev sees himself as a defender of Russian interests, participating in politics but condoning violence "as the only self-defense left for Russian youth." He brags that a member of the Freedom Party pushed a Syrian...
...casualty of the ruling conservatives' loss Germany The Christian Democrats' big win bodes well for three state elections in September The ruling Social Democrats' worst-ever loss in a national vote ratchets up the pressure on Chancellor Gerhard Schröder's government Ireland Voters elected Sinn Fein's first M.E.P.; the opposition Fine Gael had its best-ever result Premier Bertie Ahern's Fianna Fáil tumbled to its worst showing in 80 years, marring the government's six-month term as E.U.

...which is out to topple the 1998 Good Friday agreement. The fiery preacher's party became the province's largest, ousting former First Minister David Trimble's moderate Ulster Unionists. The D.U.P. won by promising it would not share power with the first choice of nationalists, Gerry Adams' Sinn Fein, which picked up 24 of 108 Assembly seats. During victory celebrations, Paisley threatened to expel any D.U.P. member who so much as talks to Sinn Fein, because of its link to the outlawed I.R.A. The result dashed hopes for a quick revival of the regional government that London suspended last...
...about how many weapons were destroyed. David Trimble, leader of the Ulster Unionist Party and Northern Ireland's former First Minister, denounced the I.R.A. secrecy and refused to deliver his end of the bargain - a promise to go back into government with the I.R.A.'s political allies, Sinn Fein. Blair and Ahern left empty-handed. And Trimble, who's been hammered within the unionist camp for his previous deals with republicans, was derided by his many critics as a "pushover" for failing to penetrate I.R.A. secrecy. The only person to emerge stronger from the mess was Ian Paisley, the fiery...
