Neutral?

I adore West Wing. It is the best series ever shown. And I was laughing just now (again) when president Bartlet talks about ze Swiss. He was remebering a cat they had who used to bring a mouse in his mouth to the door..."this is how I begin to feel about the Swiss", ze Swiss being neutral and always being the in-between-guy. Bringing a problem that somebody else has to resolve.

Neutral means that you don't have to take a stand, but as everybody is allowed to have an opinion. Except for in certain countries of course. Mostly muslim I understand when reading the news.

Is it anything else than religion that has ever started a war?
