Strategic Article from An Phoblacht

Well, here's one the opponents of the GFA should read... I would be
interested in comments...

The Great Experiment by Martina Anderson (former IRA POW)

I see the ongoing revolution in Ireland as an amazing, extraordinary, path
breaking project on the world stage of the struggle for justice. However, I
am not sure that everyone sees it like this. This article is to explain, and
put the amazing events of the last 30 years in context - so that we can
stand back and see the wood for the trees.

False Debates
Some are moaning: "Sure the GFA - wow that wasn't much of a treaty to come
out of a long hard war, so much sacrifice, so many dead. Was that what it
was all for? If so, I don't think much of it!" And perhaps they go on to
say: "And look, even on that they are reneging day after day. We've not got
the Assembly back, the institutions aren't working - might never work,
really we're still tied in to the Union and its politics of instilling
divisions and sectarianism, which has allowed the Brits to rule our country
down the years. What's changed?" And some add the question: "What's better
now for the people - are there more jobs, more houses, better health,
education, better quality of life for those who suffered so much? Was it
worthwhile - if that is all we got?"
