"I don't see any real comparison between Saddam and Pinochet"

Then why did you bring Pinochet into the discussion?

"So I imagine you feel the same way about Pinochet?"

"So you believe that every ethnicity on this planet should have their own state and that would prevent all the fighting?"

Of course not! I believe every country should be like Brazil, same language, same sport, same problems, spread over 8.5 million km2.

But all Chechenia, Ossetia, Slovakia-Czech Republic, Slovenia, Kurdstan, Armenia, ... All those people want their postal stamp piece of land. Ridiculous stuff when all of the ones in Europe give up their independence and join the EU.

No ethinicty union. Iran is a concotion of ethinic groups. Officially they like to say they are Arians. But is a melting pot of different stans people. Iraq, I never been there but most liekly is the same since it was in a route between east and west as Iran is.

What you think it is good and the best solution is not an indication of what we are going to see happening.

I am not sating what I want to be set up there. I am saying what the normal outcome will be.

And by the way:

TJ's China is on this path of economic development to avoid Balkanization. It was the only way the Chineses found to avoid a total collapse of China and slicing of China after communism fell.
