Divide and Rule.

This motto of the British Empire
was first - and successfully - implemented
in Ireland, in the 17th century.
Ireland remains divided.
The greater part is under the fiscal rule
of the European Union.
The smaller part belongs to the
quaintly-named United Kingdom.
The division of the Indian Empire
into India and two Pakistans
resulted in the deaths of millions.
What hope is there for Bahrain ?
