It smacks of defeat and realisation that only a political process can solve the problems of this Country.

So 12 years of War and Bloodshed what's that all been for...?????

I would rather people were negotiating than fighting. And your comment that I, of all people, can't be happy with this demonstrates how little you know. I would rather the troops went home and people tried to find a solution by negotiating, rather than more soldiers dead and more widows left behind. And to suggest our soldiers died for nothing is actually insulting to me.
