If yes - why?

No. I've already said it, there will always be conflict there. But there will be no more terrorism.

I still maintain there will be a decrease in violence over time. Common thuggery will never stop. But that's gonna be the same either way.

Hogwash.
<i>In Northern Ireland, 71.2% of those voting on 22 May registered approval for the Agreement. In the Republic of Ireland, 94% voted ?Yes?, to a question that included approval to changes to Articles 2 and 3 of the Irish constitution (the 'claim' to Northern Ireland).</i>
The ammendmant basically stated that Northern Ireland would be reunited with the south once a majority of the population in northern Ireland voted for a reunification in a Referendum. 94 Percent of Republicans feel this way. The guy you spoke to is obviously one of the 6 percent.
