Thesis: The war between the Yooks and the Zooks is similar to the war between the Protestant and Catholics of Northern Ireland

After having conducted significant research here is a simplification of the Conflict in Northern Ireland, "the Troubles".
Who? Irish Protestants of Scottish-English decent versus Irish Catholics of Irish ancestry
What? bloody riots and intensified conflict resulting in the death of over 3000 people
Where? seriously?
When? Disagreements between Protestants and Catholics in Ireland trace back to when the north was colonized by Scottish and English Protestants, setting Ulster (the northernly province of Ireland) apart from the rest of the predonminantly Catholic country. But in 1963, Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, Viscount Brookborough, stepped down after 20 years in office. Violence erupted again and though the situation has become much less violent, is has yet to be resolved.
Why? "The Protestants are predominantly Unionists, pledged to keeping the province of Northern Ireland part of the United Kingdom. The Catholics are predominantly Republicans, wanting unification between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Extremists on both sides resort to terrorism.
