Terrorism doesn't work?
ETA in Spain only disbanded when the government stopped banning political parties linked to ETA.
IRA in Ireland managed to give the Irish people their independence.
FARC in Colombia pushed the government to allow a vote on a truce, a truce so bad the people voted against it.

- maze-le 10y ago> ETA in Spain only disbanded when the government stopped banning political parties linked to ETA. The Basque country is not independent. This was the goal of ETA in the first place, and it was not accomplished. After the success of the parlamentary catalan independence movement, the violent ways of the ETA had just no justification anymore. > IRA in Ireland managed to give the Irish people their independence. The 1920s IRA was a complete different organisation than the 1970ies provisional IRA. You can hardly call them terrorist by todays standards. > FARC in Colombia pushed the government to allow a vote on a truce, a truce so bad the people voted against it. The FARC did not accomplish to install a communist regime in Columbia, so their goal was also not accomplished.
