Today is the Anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne. I thought I'd mention that date because it is from an era when the British Isles were a place of religious and ehtnic conflict on a very great scale. Many were exiled, lost their lands, their freedom and their lives. Some repercussions exist to this day, primarily in Northern Ireland, which right now is fairly calm but they had 30 years of 'low intensity conflict'. Whenever a Western European wants to talk about the Balkans as being a place of 'ancient hatreds' etc, they need to look at these sorts of things and remember that the same could be said of themselves. It can happen anywhere.
