IRA disarmament to be announced

I have to say that the unionists seem to be throwing their toys out of the cot with regard to the IRA decommissioning. "Unionists remain sceptical about the claims, putting back the likely date of any further negotiations on power-sharing in Northern Ireland between Sinn F�in and Ian Paisley's Democratic Unionist party."
It really does look from here like they are having trouble adjusting to not having a 'proper' enemy any longer; a sulk using the pretext of details as justification. Thin justification though; come on; are they really saying that the international and bi-community observers are lying? Just because the IRA did this in a way that didn't didn't symbolically humiliate them the unionists get all pouty. Let's hope that they can grow up enough to see that peace and security for all Northern Irish is more important and that they will look like the bad guys if they don't engage more constructively. They are not doing their case any good, especially after the recent riots.
