Enter the Dragon

I wonder would this work in Belfast......?

Mostar, in Bosnia Herzogovina, is a city with ethnic divisions. So they decided the best subject for a new statue would be...Bruce Lee

Out of all the ethnic heroes and those who have a material interest in acting as victims, we have chosen Bruce Lee. Now they can rack their brains trying to decide whether he is he Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim), Croat, or Serb,” said Veselin Gatalo, one of the initiators of the idea.

To be honest, I get sick every time I tell someone I am from Mostar and they ask me whether I am from the east or west side of the city (the city is divided into the Bosniak east side and the Croat west side),” said Nino Raspudic. “That is one of the reasons for building a statue of Bruce Lee. We are hoping that someone in the future will say: “I knew Mostar. That is the city with the Bruce Lee statue. If we succeed in that, then I can retire.” (via MetaFilter)
