Default Ireland = Iraq?

You decide:

Some similarities. Like Iraq, Northern Ireland was dominated by a minority,
and the minority abused their power. Sectarian violence is generally a
pretty ugly picture. And, in both cases, the 'insurgencies' have pretty good
external funding, assuring that the troubles will be around for a while. One
can only hope that the insurgents in Iraq are unsuccessful at taking their
fight abroad, unlike the IRA.
