''I'M EXERCISING MY NEW FREEDOM OF SPEECH --- GET OUT !!!'' It's still pretty restrained here today - the euphoria of yesterday hasn't been repeated yet.

War Is Far From Over If media reports are to be believed it appears that the war will soon be over. If true then we can all be thankful. The conduct of the White House during and leading up to this war has been shameful and the blood of the Iraqis and "coalition" forces will be a stain on our flag for some time to come....

Sinn Fein compares Iraq invasion with Ireland's occupation London, April 7, IRNA -- The invasion of Iraq by US and UK-led forces
could have the same consequences as the British occupation of Ireland,
Sinn Fein chairman Mitchel McLaughlin suggested Monday.
"Certainly the republican community here would regard themselves
