Despite five days of intensive negotiation in Belfast, David Trimble, the leader of the Ulster Unionist Party, continues to insist that he will not agree to share power with Sinn Fein, the political wing of the Irish Republican Army, unless the IRA simultaneously starts surrendering its hidden weapons.
The Irish Times carried no editorial on the talks Thursday, but its columnist Mary Holland wrote on the op-ed page that Blair had "failed, dramatically, to convince the unionist leader [David Trimble] of the need for radical change."
In another editorial Sunday, the same newspaper reflected on the exclusion of Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams from the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to John Hume and David Trimble for their part in the Northern Ireland peace settlement.
The Times of London's lead story said Northern Ireland Unionist leader David Trimble, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, may have taken "the biggest gamble of his career" by considering entering in government with the Republican Sinn Fein Party--the political wing of the Irish Republican Army--before a single IRA weapon has been handed over.
But the Times and the Daily Telegraph both underscored the political risks that Trimble, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, is running by backing off from his party's traditional "no guns, no government" stand--a policy of refusing to share power with Adams' Sinn Fein Party in a devolved Northern Ireland parliament before the Irish Republican Army hands over any of its weapons.
