Is Korea a civil war that ended? How about the confederates in the US? The Maori in New Zealand? What's would you say about Yugoslavia?

I think a lot of people see a difference between groups prancing about saying words, and the pragmatic situation.

I'm not saying anything about the ideal outcome for any of those situations I've listed.

The article is mostly focused on that red bar though
