"Mr President, in Northern Ireland it is good to see seasoned supporters of terrorism profess commitment to the rule of law against which they fought for so long. But only a fool would accept verbal pledges from those who hitherto did not baulk at murder without putting those pledges to the rigorous test of time and proven delivery.
Sinn Féin has made a highly conditional commitment to support the police, but only when they are rewarded with government office. Such blackmail is unacceptable. Genuine commitment to law and order is unconditional. Furthermore, you cannot be untainted democrats and an aspirant party for government and still be inextricably linked to an illegal organisation boasting a continuing Army Council. So Sinn Féin is only at the start of a long road of transition from terrorist adjunct to a party fit for the purposes of office. May its journey be real, rather than virtual."@en1
