What do people think about the current situation in the North of Ireland?

Personally I am an Irish Republican from Belfast. I personally have a number of friends who died at the hands of British Crown forces and Loyalist death squads and have many friends who served long spells in prison for their involvement in the war against British Imperialism. Now the guns are silent and in return for full access to the democtratic system and power sharing with the Unionist community in the North of Ireland the IRA have accepted that the North will remain under British juristiction and have recognised the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) as the legitimate upholders of law and order. I cant help feeling however that we have been let down by our politicians as what so many died for was an all Ireland Socialist Republic, not a reformed Northern Ireland still under British rule. Was what we have now worth the sacrifice that so many people paid?
