The N Ireland situation is still in the process of being resolved politically. The Brits did not win out with brute force. What ended it, ultimately, was diplomacy. Clinton and Blair deserve boatloads of credit for that one.
Fact is the IRA has kept the British very busy with less than a 1,000 fighters. And the Brits threw tons of money and political/legal resources into that one. Belfast was the most survielled city in the western world (some have said world) until recently.
I can't think of a truly great success story, maybe the NPA in the Phillipines?
