And that is precisely what the British have been doing for the last several hundred years (and now their murderous successors Americans are doing the same thing).

I think that,first and most important reason,for your sympathizing the Irish cause,is your presumption,that Irish-British case is similar to ex-Yugoslav case,which is not.And I'll stop here,because this is discussion about Ulster.

Me,too...but,I don't blame Britain,or England for that matter...I blame liberal-bourgeois idea,that is not British concept,but rather a consequence of Humanism and Renaissance,Rationalism,Age of enlightenment,strengthening of the bourgeois class etc.
It was also promoted by many Catholic and Protestant philosophers and ideologists...I can also say that,if there weren't Catholics and Protestants,liberal thought would have never won!
