They refused to give anyone 'prisoner of war' status, and eventually got a wider political political settlement by drawing one wing of the IRA into the political process, while putting the other, the Provos, out of business. <BR/><BR/>The problem with our "it doesn't work" crowd is they have the attention span of a six-year-old.

I also use the historical analogy. And of course, we have the immediate past from 1985 (Reagan years to 9-11) of why pursuing these guys thru legal means is a huge waste of time.<BR/>But Bush struck and struck back hard and we are winning. Much to the chagrin of the left.

Didn't work. Read some Victor David Hansen for the historical roots of why it did not work.
