40 years...and still strong enough to bring a government to the negotiating table...I read Spanish newspapers every day (el mundo, el pais and abc). I'm not swayed by a ceasefire who's only purpose is the get HB legalized again.
How long ago was the Good Friday Agreement? 1997? The IRA may be laying low, but forced the British gummint's hand pretty well, and ETA took their cues from there.
