<<In any event, I believe that the Serbs have reason to sustain their territorial integrity, and to defend the historic connection to their "motherland", so long as they make reasonable accommodations to the local population.>>

This is a point we all should consider. It is not the US of A over there. All of the turmoil in the Balkans is the result of racist generalizations about all involved groups. The trouble is result of these people not being able to see each other as human individuals instead of "Albanian" or "Serb" or "Croatian." In their minds, the actions of some Croatians in Bosnia make the entire class of people known as "Croatian" guilty and worthy of elimination, for example. If the institutions in this region were dominated by the principle of equality under the law, Serbian police in Kosovo would be cracking down on both ethnic Albanian *and* ethnic Serb violence. It is a failure of both understanding and law.
