President Clinton has been a hero to the Irish American community in the United States and to all people in Ireland dedicated to finding a peaceful solution to the troubles in Northern Ireland. While I do not question his commitment to peace in Northern Ireland, I do question his choice of words expressing his frustration in the lack of progress. What the Peace Process needs now is a positive involvement of the United States President to break though this log-jam, not recitations of outdated and insulting Irish stereotypes, said Congressman Joseph Crowley.
Actions speak louder than words.
The Irish people appreciate the President s actions and the commitment to Northern Ireland by his Administration. President Clinton has provided a strong voice of fairness and balance to the Peace Process. Though I believe the President should apologize for his poor choice of words to describe the stalled Peace Process, I do not believe that he has given up his goal to secure Peace in Northern Ireland, said Congressman Joseph Crowley.
