You're cherry picking historical events rather than looking at more representative measures of social cohesion.

And how are 2500 terrorist bombings in an 18-month period not a broad measure of social cohesion? How is the frequency and severity of riots not a broad measure of social cohesion??

Ugh. I've got boat-work to do. Yes, you're right Mr. Pangloss, we're in the best of all possible worlds. I can't convey some historical reality through charts. It would be like trying to explain Weimar via sociological data. I give up.
