"Britain also drew stupid lines all over the Middle East."
Inn three years time Ireland commemorate the promised "temporary" division of its country - a division that was deliberately engineered to create an aggressively sectarian state sympathetic to its former masters
The results - a century of sectarian conflict which will inevitably kick off once more if the present circus continues on its course
The lesson to be learned is if you want a healthy body-bag industry, draw a line through a country - go ask the Cypriots or Koreans or Palestinians.... or all the other partitioned countries if you have any doubt on this one
