Much can go wrong, but more looks right
Article Abstract:
The peace agreement in Northern Ireland has the potential to bring stability, but there are also elements which cause some observers to believe that Northern Ireland's future remains uncertain. In particular, extreme republicans and extreme loyalists could work together to bring down the peace agreement. However, those involved in negotiating the peace deal have developed a strong sense of common purpose, and this will play a key role in sustaining the deal through the uncertainties of the immediate future.

Prayers for peace have been answered
Article Abstract:
There is now a strong feeling that peace really can be achieved in Northern Ireland. The result of the referendum on the peace agreement indicates that most nationalists in both Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic desire peace, as does the Clinton administration and the world in general. The peace agreement also has the support of the main political parties in Northern Ireland, the Irish Republic and Great Britain, apart from the Democratic Unionists.
