Most terrorist movements eventually wither away for they fail to replace an armed struggle with a political one
In fact, one of the first organized armed resistances of the 20th century was the Irish movement against the British rule which led to a fierce conflict in between 1919-1921 that eventually led to the formation of Ireland while Northern Ireland remained part of the British Empire.
It is said that even though Irish Republican Army was no way in a position to defeat the British Army, yet the guerilla warfare it resorted to, made the British existence in Ireland inviable – not only politically, but also economically [a critical reason for the English to occupy territories even before World War II] – just as the Mujahideens did for Soviets in Afghanistan. Later on, the Provisional Irish Republican Army was formed in the 1960s for carrying on the protest against the two-Ireland policy and for ousting the British from Northern Ireland. But a war of attrition cannot be carried on without harming the common populace. Expectably falling prey to this paradigm, the subversive activities of IRA – which included bombings and assassinations – eventually made it lose much of the support it had in the Republic of Ireland and even in Northern Ireland. Eventually, after more than three decades of continuing a war of attrition against the British rule, in 2005, in the face of ever expanding domestic opposition, IRA finally agreed to lay down arms and carry on its struggle though democratic and political means; Sinn Féin became its widely accepted political front. If Sinn Féin [read its EU election campaign agenda and commitment to the ‘Peace Process’ to understand the gargantuan philosophical transformation] epitomised this intelligent change in IRA, the same gambit was chosen by the Maoists of Nepal, Fatah in Palestine and even say, Pervez Musharraf in Pakistan.
