There's a post on my blog that I wanted to bring to people's attention. It's at http://devlin-mcaliskey.blogspot.com/2009/03/sell-outs-sinn-fein-good-friday.html

There's a post on my blog that I wanted to bring to people's attention. It's at http://devlin-mcaliskey.blogspot.com/2009/03/sell-outs-sinn-fein-good-friday.html

(one thing I AM going to raise right now is the name of my blog, which is discussed at http://devlin-mcaliskey.blogspot.com/2009/02/notes.html

Below is a little tease. I'm tempted to offer a moderately long intro to the world of my blog, but I think I'll do that in the comments if people ask. So, I'll just give you your sample of the post.

Why wasn't the republican struggle more than barely successful, and how was it very mildly successful and what can be done to make it more successful in the future? .....

The nationalist community and to a smaller degree the republican movement were tired of the war and realized that total victory was a long ways off, and decided that if they could come out ahead of previous efforts at resolving the conflict, they would compromise.......

Why were they only barely successful, why was the armed struggle going nowhere? Bearing in mind that they almost never broke certain rules regarding civilians, the IRA put overwhelming pressure on the British to withdraw. I've gotten the impression that more could have been done to mobilize mass struggle, but overall the republican family put a lot of pressure on the British. What was missing was international pressure.
