Shit, meet fan
Alex C:
Religion and nationalism.
Ozymandias:
Those are pretty much the two worst reasons to do anything ever.
Alex C:
No argument there.
But yeah, it really is the same shit as always. Kosovo historically has been one of Serbia's richest cultural centers but is currently filled with ethnic Albanians and Muslims while Belgrade is some ridiculous percentage (90%?) Orthodox Christian. I won't pretend to understand why that's a good enough reason to go to war, but there it is.

Ok, that's a very hard question, because, you see - I'm from Croatia (ex Yugoslavia...) and even I don't understand why the Serbs didn't want to let us, or Slovenia, or FYRO Macedonia to form our own independent republics '91.
It's probably because Serbia always wanted to be ''magna serbia'' or The BIG Serbia.
I just hope that everything will go without war, cause the people here are still stressed by the war in Croatia & Bosna and Hercegovina, even though it has been 12 years since the war officially ended.
Alex C:
Yeah, I don't know what the big deal is with the whole nationalism thing, but historically promises of greatness and stability has almost always trumped tolerance and equal representation.
