World Notes
NORTHERN IRELAND
A War That Will Not End
</hdr><body>
<p> Not since 1982 has Northern Ireland been so besieged by
terrorism. The I.R.A. opened its latest campaign with a spate
of bombings in November that severely damaged parts of the
center of Belfast. Since then, more buildings have been bombed,
and there has been an upsurge in murders by the I.R.A., as well
as by Ulster loyalist extremists. The bombings have spread to
London, Manchester and other British cities.
</p>
<p> For Ulsterites, whose mood fluctuates between fear and
defiance, the resurgence of violence is all the more
demoralizing because only a few months ago they were confident
the worst was over. Now, demands for increased security have
prompted the government in London to send two more army
battalions to the province, bringing military strength to
17,800. Prime Minister John Major flew to Belfast last week and
declared that the I.R.A. "cannot bomb Northern Ireland out of
its way of life, and they cannot bomb the British government out
of its policy." He added, "The I.R.A. are not going to win. Not
now and not ever."
