People said the same kinds of things when the IRA were setting off car bombs in London, but thr Irish Republic might not exist were it not for those acts of resistance.
Not saying that I'm a brilliant military strategist and you should take me at my word, but there's definitely historical parallels.
This is a sidetrack, but the goals of the IRA during the carbombs-in-London era (as distinct from the IRA of 1919-1922) was to absorb the six counties of the north into the Republic, not to preserve/establish the Republic.
I understand that terrorism sometimes brings results desired by its perpetrators and it's not easy to judge whether that would happen or not but I dunno, this particular rocket flinging strategy has a twenty year long record of not working. Maybe I missing something...

Including most Irish Republicans.
This is grossly misinformed. The Irish Republic had existed for decades before car bombs in London. That's not what The Troubles was about.
You're right. I meant to say that the Irish republic would not exist as it is.

Damn. They should have set more car bombs.
