|
|
|
|
Exactly -- "let's you and him fight" is a
|
|
way of dealing with troublesome populations
|
|
by moving them next to one another, so they
|
|
give each other, and not the Man, grief*.
|
|
|
|
So by my understanding (and, you all will
|
|
understand, with tongue firmly in cheek):
|
|
|
|
Ireland: Irish? Uppity barbarians overly
|
|
fond of "risings". Scots? More uppity
|
|
barbarians overly fond of "risings".
|
|
Why not plonk down a bunch of the latter
|
|
next to the former and kill two birds
|
|
with one stone?
|
|
|
|
Israel: Ex-ottomans? Uppity barbarians
|
|
(didn't they help kick out the Ottomans?)
|
|
Zionists? Uppity sorts who aren't happy
|
|
with perfectly good land in Uganda. Why
|
|
not plonk down a bunch of the latter next
|
|
to the former and kill two birds with one
|
|
stone?
|
|
|
|
but not:
|
|
|
|
India: in which the muslims and hindus were
|
|
originally intermixed to some degree,
|
|
but Partioned due to their own conflict,
|
|
not due to English resettlement policy.
|
|
|
|
Canada: in which the french and english were
|
|
already established, and it was just the
|
|
balance of power on the continent that
|
|
determined events in the colonies. The
|
|
Acadians got resettled, but they don't
|
|
seem to have been that good for picking
|
|
fights with their neighbors, so no one
|
|
had them plonked down next door.

* this works best with a populace who,
|
|
given "one man, one vote", immediately
|
|
deduce "one less man, one less vote" --
|
|
eh, Magnan?
