		Robert McCartney: There's no question that the French and Germans don't want their companies to be cut out of a share of business deals and contracts in reconstructing postwar Iraq.
		Robert McCartney: France and Germany are acutely aware of the explosion of dislike for them in the United States.
		Robert McCartney: I think you're absolutely right that the French are hypocritical when they insist that UN must sanction military action in Iraq, while they send troops regularly to Africa to assert their interests in former colonies.

	Scotch-Irish / Ulster-Scots Forums > Robert McCartney Murder
		Robert McCartney was involved in a fight in a bar — Magennis's — in May Street, in the centre of Belfast, on the night of January 30, 2005.
		McCartney's family were among those who publicly stated their belief that Provisional IRA members were responsible for the silence surrounding the murder, with his sister saying, "their cover-up and their clean-up operation afterwards was meticulous." The IRA expelled three members some weeks later.
		Catherine McCartney said her family was appalled by the level of aggression and abuse in the message.

		A six-week campaign by Robert McCartney's sisters to bring the killers to justice and their public denunciations of alleged IRA intimidation of witnesses have sparked parades and candlelight vigils -- and emboldened others to speak of their anger and resentment.
		The McCartney killing added to a mood of disgust with the IRA that had been building since police blamed the group for Britain's largest bank robbery, as well as other crimes, even as the IRA and other armed groups have adhered to a 1997 cease-fire in this British province long ravaged by sectarian violence.
		McCartney and the men accused of attacking him lived here, on streets where the IRA had always been seen as a bulwark against the community's enemies.

		The McCartney sisters have been elevated to stardom since their brother was stabbed to death in what the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) initially described as a pub brawl.
		The McCartney sisters by politicising their brothers death, even if his assailant was a member of the IRA, have now become part of that problem and have been welcomed into the pro British bosom of those opposed to self determination and freedom for the Irish people.
		The death of Robert McCartney’s is of no importance unless it serves such interests, which is to prevent the emergence of an Independent, peaceful Ireland.

		McCartney, who also worked part-time as a bouncer to save for his wedding, was described locally as a diplomat, a diffuser of rows.
		McCartney and Devine were beaten with plastic and iron sewer rods and slashed from their neck to their navel with knives, said to have been taken from the pub kitchen.
		The McCartney family were all Sinn Féin supporters and came from the Short Strand, the isolated Catholic enclave whose armed defence from Loyalist attack by the infant Provisional IRA in 1970 became a metaphor for the protective role the organisation claimed was the reason it had come into being.

		By all accounts, Robert McCartney, a 33-year-old forklift driver, had sought to calm a dispute arising after words were exchanged between his friend, Brendan Devine, and a senior IRA figure (who bellowed, “Do you know who I am?”).
		I hope someone (as in: a politician with a spine) takes this whole thing on soon and sorts the situation out once and for all.
		It is clear that the IRA and Sinn Fein will not give up their old ways and all the time they are allowed to carry on doing what they've always done then nothing will ever be resolved.

	John F. Cullinan Northern Ireland on National Review Online
		On January 30, the same day that Iraqis were flocking to the polls, a gang of IRA “volunteers” and Sinn Fein “activists” attacked two friends in a downtown Belfast bar, leaving one dead and the other grievously wounded.
		As the two friends lay dying in the street, the killers locked in some 70 bar patrons, forbade anyone from summoning an ambulance, announced that “this is IRA business,” and threatened all present with death as the penalty for “informing” — giving evidence to the police.
		Robert McCartney and his sisters were raised in the Short Strand, a tiny nationalist enclave of 3,000 located in overwhelmingly unionist East Belfast.

		But as Mr McCartney`s five sisters and partner prepared for White House talks with President George Bush in their quest to bring the knife gang to justice, Mr McCord hit out at his own representatives.
		However, they are also political parasites and use the recent murder of Mr McCartney to tarnish the good name of a whole community, and the 340,000 individuals in Ireland who vote for Sinn Féin.
		Before the mope's go wild about this statement from Mr McCord, they should remember that no unionist politician was involved in his son's murder or in an attempted cover-up of that vile crime, unlike SF/IRA in the McCartney crime.
