2023 is the 25the anniversary of the Good Friday agreement between the Irish Republican Government and the British Government. It brought peace to Northern Ireland and an end to the long held claim of the British government to sovereignty of all Ireland. The agreement was brokered by the United States senator for Maine, Senator George Mitchell, sent for this specific purpose by President Bill Clinton. Later, back in the United States, Senator Mitchell was awarded the Liberty Medal. He made a speech which included these words. 'I believe there is no such thing as a conflict that cannot be ended.
