Madam, - Last Wednesday Gerry Adams called on the IRA to abandon violence and unilaterally commit itself to political and democratic means.

Have I been living on Planet Zog for over the past decade? What was the "peace process" all about? Why has he waited all this time - negotiating what? This stalling enabled Sinn Féin and the IRA to hoodwink the Irish, English and US governments and the Irish electorate and build up political support and funds to enable a virtual takeover. They nearly pulled it off.

Now Mr Adams has sent a message to himself. Let us now wait on his reply to himself. Yes, I am living in Zog. - Yours, etc.,
