    Anyone read the editorial in the Boston Globe today by Raymond Flynn?
    Good article...  If I have time I'll post it.

    It wasn't an editorial.  It was a letter to the editor.  Any idiot can 
    write one.  Heck, I've had more letters to the editor published than
    Ray Flynn has.
    
    I think Ray should butt out.

    For those of us who don't read the Globe, what did Ray
    have to say?

    Apparently, the Globe had some earlier editorial which stated
    that the US shouldn't pressure Britain to negociate a peace settlement
    in Northern Ireland.  In his letter (sorry Dennis!) Flynn was saying
    that the US has been involved in many other peace arrangements around
    the world (e.g. Middle East) and there is nothing wrong with them
    offering assistance for Northern Ireland.
    
    I agree with him.  Cautiously realizing that ultimately the people
    of Northern Ireland are the ones who must broker the peace.  There's
    nothing wrong with the US prodding the peace process along and offering
    financial and economic incentives while doing so. It's time that NI get
    a piece of the multi billion dollar foreign aid that we the US dole out
    Thanks to the strong Jewish American lobby Israel gets 3 billion from
    the U.S. annually.  Guess how much NI receives?  You don't need a
    calculator. ;v)  Granted, the political landscapes are different.
