Sir, - The other day on TV, I heard words of wisdom from a poor man in a Peruvian slum. Asked what he thought of the antigovernment band holding seventy hostages, he replied: "I hardly knew them before this, but now that they have shown in advance the kind of rulers they would be if they gained power, I know for certain that I'd hate to have them running my country!"
Do the users of bombs, bullets and baseball bats in pursuit of a united Ireland think they are demonstrating their potential as peace loving democratic rulers? Let them check with that poor man in Peru! - Yours, etc.,
