...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."

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.
