Clinton's role in calming Ireland

Turns out Hillary wasn't lying on this one. She actually was involved.

Clinton twice addressed audiences of schoolchildren at Belfast's Musgrave Park, in September 1998 and May 1999. She declared that Protestant and Catholic youths must learn to play together but needed a safe place to do it — and helped plant a tree on the spot where a special cross-community playground would be created. Belfast did have other parks.

There. Don't all of you Hillary supporters feel better? Good. Please don't read any further. The next paragraph is for the rest of us.

Nearly a decade later, Musgrave Park remains as it was: a well-groomed, rather lonely place sandwiched between a hospital and a highway, where adults jog and walk their dogs amid birdsong and spring flowers. The Belfast group touting the "Play for Peace Fund" silently shelved the idea within months although Clinton often referred to the project as an inspiration to a divided world.

So inspired that they ditched the project. She even fails at playground politics.
