Were you a peace keeper or diplomat in Cyprus?
The thing that concerns me is that a complete economic meltdown in Cyprus could lead to a destablization. I agree that the UN mission there has been successful, but when you lived there, did you get the sense that there were still deep rooted problems beneath the surface?
Typically, when countries do well economically, people put aside their differences... but when a true competition for resources occurs, things can change and old woulds resurface. Another conflict in Cyprus could easily draw Greece and Turkey in, plus Russa and even the EU/NATO given their economic interests there. It's a scary thing to think of. I've always been a worrier about these things though.
