in all seriousness, if the IRA had international support, the UK would have been a war zone...this was the only difference between yugo and the UK...dude I lived in the UK during the IRA attacks, we never ever had shit like you did...
you call the IRA undemocratic but I urge you to look at a map of ireland...notice how the top part obviously does not belong to england? you call THEM undemocratic? 
i suppose the falklands belongs to the UK too? "democratically"?

If the IRA had more support they would have done exactly what the Serbs did to Muslims. But they didn't ever Eire was very reluctant to support them.
N. Ireland is overwhelmingly in favour of remaining part of the UK. Same as Bosnians were in favour of remaining Bosnians. The difference is Serbs had a military and support to commit genocide. The situation in Ireland is similar to the situation in Yugoslavia and the splits. One bunch of murderous thugs had the backing the other bunch of murderous thugs could only dream of. so the death toll became genocide in one.
Why were so many Serbs determined to murder Bosnians?
