Is Open Space not working when there are many internal conflicts?

This is stated in one of the reports from the Wosonos2012 "The limits
of Open Space"

I believed that the passion fueling the conflict was the stuff that
fuels the Open Space activities and without this fuel nothing real
will happen for nobody will care sufficiently to have an opinion or
take up a conflict.

I am not able image the case where the many internal conflicts will
inhibit the Open Space if the preconditions are fulfilled, perhaps
someone could enlighten me about such a case.

Is there a different approach that is better for such condition, will
nothing work or will Open Space work?

with love from Iceland and with a hope for an answer
Kári.
