Would you prefer to go back to bombing each other and gunning down innocent (I use the term rather loosely) Australian lawyers on holiday several countries away in the Netherlands in preference to the Celtic Tiger economy?

Every culture changes over time. Twenty years is long enough for real change to happen, and short enough to allow you to believe that real change hasn't happened, it's just that people do things all wrong now. (Remember to blame the teenagers if you haven't had a convenient outbreak of peace and rational behaviour in your society)
