Once again we see it happening like in the former Yoguslavia (sp). The one thing that totalitarian states have going for them is that they are able to keep countries of different factions together. As long as it is felt that one group is being dominated by another there will those that believe violence is the answer. Hopefully there is a way to make the factions feel they have a voice in the Democracy and or not being "oppressed". If not we will see it play out like in Bosnia, Ireland, Basqes in Spain, FLQ in Quebec, Russia, Afganistan, historic Scotland, American Revolution. There are no easy solution or fast solutions and those looking for one are doomed to fail.
