American Thinker: Controversial Irish activist Gerry Adams, president since 1983 of Sinn Fein, the “political arm” of the Irish Republican Army, announced he was stepping down next year.
Adams guided Sinn Fein through the worst of IRA violence against British soldiers and protestant activists in the 1980s and ended up being perceived as something of a peacemaker, helping to bring about the Good Friday peace agreement with the British government in 1998.

Adams said he would be replaced as party president, a position he has held since 1983, at a party conference next year. He would also not stand for reelection to the Irish parliament.

Wow, two terrorists fall in one week, Gerry Adams and Robert Mugabe! Maybe the world is starting to get back in balance!
Who is the good guy and the bad guy here? I’m no expert on the matter, but the way the British treated the Irish and the Scots for hundreds of years was no different than the way they treated the U.S. All people want is to be free to live their lives.
All he was willing to do was kill anybody who did not see thins his way. He is an Irish thug who got away with murder.
One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.
Rot in hell, you terrorist bastard.
Nobody cares about the IRA anymore because muslims are taking over the bombings.
AFT.
Why do I think the timing has something to do with Brexit…
@ Extirpates: He willing to kill anybody –and his mum and their dog– who did not see things his way.
