The depressing thing about the success of the Irish peace process

The depressing thing about the success of the Irish peace process? Is that of every last country in the world with such a problem, the Irish have been the only ones with the guts to actually work towards peace. For near as I can tell every other place with a similar problem has either refused to try, or at the first problem the collective leadership of both sides wet their pants and throw a, "Wah! Peace is too hard! We're just not good enough, if we can't have it for free we'll just give up and screw everyone else!" tantrum. Hello? If it was easy the Irish situation would have been solved so long ago that no one would have any idea that there ever was any trouble.
