With Trimble's resignation, N. Ireland peace process reaches impasse.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
With a dramatic resignation Sunday, the Northern Ireland peace process has once again reached an impasse.
The latest deadlock represents the most significant threat the historic Good Friday agreement has faced since it was signed more than three years ago.
The decision by Ulster Unionist party leader David Trimble to step down from his post as first minister, as the head of the province's assembly is known, over the IRA's failure to disarm has thrown Northern Ireland's fragile power-sharing government into turmoil.
Trimble's high-stakes strategy is intended to focus pressure on the Irish Republican Army and Sinn Fein, the political party allied with it.
If the past is a guide, it may also lead republicans to dig in their heels even deeper. The IRA, a private army not inclined to surrender, has repeatedly declared that it will not bow to pressure from unionists or the British government.
