There are damn few examples of polyglot countries that escaped at the very least a split, and at the worst a civil war, after ethnic tensions kept under control by a dictator were released.

And how is it that the US has somehow been proven to be able to transcend much of that... Why are we so different, and what does our experience offer to the rest of the world.. I, for one, am not particularly keen on seeing the world carved up along ethnic borders that are often quite nebulous at their peripheries. That is nothing more than a recipe for more long-term trouble. Hawk
