...Gemma Zabaleta, a Socialist M.P. in the Basque parliament. "The I.R.A. planted bombs while the governments negotiated." But observers like Gustavo de Arístegui, a Popular Party member of the Spanish parliament from the Basque Country, cast doubt on such comparisons: he argues that the I.R.A. followed Sinn Fein's political lead, whereas Batasuna is subordinate to ETA. And the militants themselves seem to have spoken for violence. Unlike many of ETA's previous attacks, which have killed more than 800 people over the past 30 years, this month's explosions were not intended to be deadly. The coordinated...
...I.R.A. refused, saying Paisley would use the pictures to "humiliate" them. The standoff was particularly frustrating for British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who has been to Belfast 33 times in seven years trying to secure a deal. Still, Blair and Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern got Paisley and Sinn Fein, the I.R.A.'s political allies, to agree on previously hot issues like policing.

...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...
