Unless that case is made more clearly and backed up with evidence, I'll never understand that point of view.
It's really quite simple. The goal of the IRA is to liberate Northern Ireland. Once liberated, their goal is complete, is it not? You'll be seeing a lot less of the IRA once Northern Ireland is liberated. Obviously, they'll still be around, but i doubt they'd be making any aggressive attacks, as their goal would have already been met. Make sense?

Sorry -- but the way they act towards each other, I can't see loyalists/republicans ever getting along.
I think there will always be tension between the two groups, but what goal would a loyalist paramilitary possibly have once Northern Ireland was liberated? Do they think if they bomb enough people, Britain will invade again?

Obviously, you'll have the marches, annual rioting and all that, but the terrorism will stop, or at the very least, become far less frequent, and i think it'll eventually stop altogether.
