	Michael Collins (Irish leader) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Irish War of Independence in effect began on the same day that the First Dáil met in January 1919, when two policemen guarding a consignment of gelignite were shot dead by IRA volunteers acting without orders, in Soloheadbeg, County Tipperary.
		Despite opposition, he had supported and supplied the IRA in Northern Ireland throughout the civil war, a policy which was quickly discontinued after his death, and it is doubtful he would have regarded the findings of the Irish Boundary Commission with the same equanimity as his successors.
		The majority of Irish people believe that the IRA's legitimacy was passed on to the new Irish National Army, established in 1922, and that later organisations calling themselves the 'IRA' (whether the Official IRA, the Provisional IRA, the Real IRA etc.) had little legitimacy and only tenuous links with the earlier army of the Republic.

		Diplomatic missions in Addis Ababa had now started opening their doors for the opposition, and have started lending ears to what they had to say because they knew that the union was a serious force that could not be sidelined like before.

		The Irish Brigade was specifically created to preserve this special identity and to advertise the important contributions to the Union cause that Irish Catholics made.
		Many of their leaders, despite having opposed Lincoln and his party before the war, felt compelled to defend the constitutional integrity of the country that had provided them with an asylum from tyranny and persecution at home.
		That there was never anything intrinsic about Irish support for the Northern cause is evident from the fact that those who settled in the Southern states had no trouble accepting the logic of that section on the war.

	Blair’s doing badly, opposition worse - Europe - MSNBC.com
		The embattled leader of Britain's opposition Conservative Party vowed defiantly on Thursday to challenge Tony Blair for the premiership, despite a rebellion against him that has thrown his party into crisis.
		Despite their poignant history as the party of Benjamin Disraeli, Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher, the Conservatives have floundered in the opposition since they were swept from power in 1997, weakened by internal bickering and divided over key policy issues, most notably over the adoption of the single European currency, the euro.
		Opposition to Blair has mainly come from left-wing party members and constituents who opposed his decision to participate in the Iraq war and disapprove of his reform policies to the aging welfare state.

		She was right to condemn such plans, as The Observer has done for some years, but the notion that she is a remarkable champion of independent thought is only given currency by the craven failure of so many Labour backbenchers to do their jobs properly.
		We hope that Ms Buck, an acutely informed, critical friend of the Government, just as The Observer strives to be, has set an example to others in her party.
		If constructive opposition is not to be forthcoming from the Conservatives, it must come from Labour.

		Mindful of the original motivation for mass protests, in an interview with the independent newspaper "Moya stolitsa" summarized by akipress.org on 19 August, Kulov argued that calls for a campaign to impeach Akaev were unrealistic.
		Kulov said that rather than demand Akaev’s resignation, the opposition People’s Congress of Kyrgyzstan of which he is president will demand that those officials responsible for the deaths of the five demonstrators be brought to trial [see "RFE/RL Newsline," 20 August 2002].
		Yet opposition and human rights leaders believe that the orders for the shootings go all the way to the top and that recognition even by the nomenklatura of that reality will lead to a faster resignation of Akaev and acceleration of the political process toward earlier elections.
