Thank you for sharing your experiences.<p>&gt; <i>I mean, we didn&#x27;t split, but we did pick a war with a country who&#x27;s people kind of looked like the people who attacked us</i><p>The problem here is that &#x27;people who kind of look like the people who attacked us&#x27; are not foreign, they&#x27;re here, in Europe. The hot topic of past months was the waves of immigration, and before that it was Islam minorities. I fear that people will retaliate on those communities and it will turn into a civil war. Or even if not, the tension between policies of various European countries RE immigration were high, and overreaction here may just be enough to split us apart.<p>&gt; <i>My thoughts at the time were the opposite of yours. It did not occur to me that this was going to change my country; It took me quite some time to understand that this was hugely impactfull.</i><p>My experiences are informed by what happened to your country over the last 14 years. I&#x27;ve learned that such events can be very impactful.
