   After decade upon decade of Christian-upon-Christian violence in
   Northern Ireland and the UK, the Good Friday Accord signed in the late
   1990s was soon followed by a cessation of terrorism.

   Those of us a bit more cynical thought it had a bit more to do with
   the fact that most funding for terrorist activities in Northern
   Ireland had dried up a few years earlier. But be that as it may, it
   must be said that that historic agreement was followed by a gradual
   deflation of tensions in Northern Ireland. Today another historic
   event, as [1]Protestand and Catholic leaders come together, agreeing
   to establish a unity government.

   How he dealt with the Northern Ireland terrorism problem will probably
   be Blair's greatest legacy to history.
