With the Irish divided amongst themselves, didn't the imperial British win? They already control the country. Except they control it by fear rather than outright. Which is more effective? And do the British want control of Ireland at this point, or is it simply those Irish who capitulated in the beginning? I just don't know enough about this war, and my comments are probably rather uninformed. As to whether the Catholics or Protestants control the country, we have to wonder what percent of the Irish population remains religious, and if it is a minority, then why do they put up with a religious battle?<br /><br />Then again, the agents of discord have allies on both sides of the coin. And when the money and favors come from both sides, the agents only lose if one side wins. It's in their best interest to prolong the conflict. Only way to end the conflict is to remove the agents.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11935896263961446099noreply@blogger.com
