THERE IS A CHANCE FOR PEACE IN IRELAND. THIS ARTICLE EXPLORES THE EFFECTS OF TERRORISM, AND THEN DEMOCRACY AND THE EASE OF BEING AN IRA ACTIVIST. IRISH NATIONALISM, IRISH REPUBLICANISM, MARXISTS AND THE WORKERS' PARTY ARE THEN EXAMINED. IT CONCLUDES WITH SOME STATISTICS ON ABSTRACTED EMPIRICISM AND RECOMMENDS FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE CONFLICT IN IRELAND.

ALTHOUGH THE IRISH REPUBLICAN ARMY (IRA) HAS BEEN ACTIVE FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS, INTERPRETATIONS OF THE MOTIVATION OF THE IRA ARE VARIED. FOR SOME, IT IS A SECTARIAN ORGANIZATION ENGAGED IN A TIT-FOR-TAT CAMPAIGN WITH PROTESTANT PARAMILITARIES IN NORTHERN IRELAND. FOR OTHERS, IT IS A GUERRILLA ARMY WAGING A MILITARY CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE BRITISH PRESENCE IN NORTHERN IRELAND. THIS ARTICLE ASSESSES THE DEGREE TO WHICH THE IRA WAS OR WAS NOT ENGAGED IN SECTARIAN ACTIVITY BETWEEN JULY 1969 AND DECEMBER 1993. ALTHOUGH THE IRISH REPUBLICAN ARMY KILLED MORE THAN 340 PROTESTANT CIVILIANS IN THIS TIME PERIOD, THIS EXAMINATION SUGGESTS THAT THE IRA, IN GENERAL, WAS NOT A SECTARIAN ORGANIZATION.

THIS ARTICLE FOLLOWS UP ON A NOVEMBER 1990 PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF SADDAM HUSSEIN. AS PREDICTED, SADDAM HUSSEIN REFUSED TO BUDGE AN INCH, ALTHOUGH HIS DOWNFALL SEEMS ASSURED. FURTHERMORE, THE MASSES IN THE OTHER ARAB COUNTRIES TURNED MORE AND MORE IN HIS FAVOR DURING THE SHOOTING WAR. HOWEVER, THE PREDICTED "RUTHLESS COUNTERATTACK" AND THE TENACITY OF THE REPUBLICAN GUARDS DID NOT COME TO PASS. POSSIBLE REASONS FOR THIS FAILURE INCLUDE THE IMMENSITY OF THE COALTION ASSAULT ON IRAQ, THE FAILURE OF ISRAEL TO RETALIATE AGAINST IRAQI SCUD MISSLE ATTACKS, AND GENERAL WAR-WEARINESS.

TEN ELEMENTS IN THE METHODOLOGY OF REALISTIC EMPATHY ARE CONSIDERED, INCLUDING THE CHESSPLAYER'S TYPE OF EMPATHY AND TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE OTHER'S EXPECTABLE MISPERCEPTIONS, ONE'S OWN EXPECTABLE MISPERCEPTIONS, AND THE OTHER'S CULTURAL BACKGROUND. A SOMEWHAT SYSTEMATIC COGNITIVE MAP OF SADDAM'S POLITICAL WORLD IS THEN ATTEMPTED. SOMEWHAT SURPRISINGLY, HIS BASIC MOTIVES INCLUDE MUCH GENUINE FEAR, ESPECIALLY FEAR THAT, WITHOUT STRENGTH AND TOUGHNESS ON HIS PART, IRAQ WILL FAR APART AND SYRIA AND IRAN WILL PICK UP THE PIECES. THEY ALSO INCLUDE INTENSE NEEDS FOR POWER AS SUCH, FOR ECONOMIC RECOVERY, AND FOR KEEPING HIS RECENTLY ACQUIRED REPUTATION, IN ARAB EYES, AS THE GREAT, TOUGH CHAMPION OF ALL ARABS IN THEIR STRUGGLE AGAINST ISRAEL, THE UNITED STATES AND THE GREEDY, CORRUPT, SPINELESS RULERS OF THE GULF STATES. PRESENT PERCEIVED PATHS TO THOSE GOALS INCLUDE NONPROVOCATION, WAITING FOR NEW ARAB ALLIES AND FOR GREATER DISUNITY IN THE NON-ARAB WORLD, AND RUTHLESS, ALL-OUT ATTACK IF ATTACKED OR ABOUT TO BE ATTACKED. IMPLICATIONS FOR NEGOTIATION ARE CONSIDERED.

AGGRESSION BETWEEN NATIONS IS DEFINED HERE NOT AS THE STARTING OF A WAR, BUT AS ANY USE OR THREAT OF FORCE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY, AGAINST THE WISHES OF EITHER THE PEOPLE OR THE GOVERNMENT OF THAT COUNTRY. REGARDLESS OF DEFINITIONS, HOWEVER, THERE IS MUCH EVIDENCE THAT, SINCE 1914, AGGRESSORS HAVE USUALLY LOST IN TERMS OF THEIR OWN LONG-TERM SELF-INTEREST. THIRTY EXAMPLES ARE EXAMINED. IN 20 OF THEM THE RESULTS ARE INTERPRETED AS BAD FOR THE AGGRESSORS, IN 5 AS GOOD, AND IN 5 AS AMBIGUOUS. (THE OPPOSITE WAS THE CASE BEFORE 1914.) THE DIRECT, TANGIBLE REASONS FOR LOSS USUALLY CONSIST OF UNEXPECTED RESISTANCE BY THE VICTIMS, UNEXPECTED INTERVENTION BY OTHER COUNTRIES ON BEHALF OF THE VICTIMS, OR BOTH; AND UNDERLYING BOTH OF THESE THERE IS EVIDENTLY A GREAT LACK OF REALISTIC EMPATHY WITH EITHER THE VICTIMS OR THEIR POTENTIAL ALLIES.
