"Ridicule as much as you want, but Albania and Croatia will join NATO on April 4th and will have two dozen nations behind them"

Uh huh, tell that to the Slovenes.

So explain why Milorad Dodik is one of the most popular politicians among the Herzegovi then? The Hercegovi Croats want nothing to do with Bosnia and would love to see it dissolved as much as the Serbs, so invariably, Croatia will not stand in the way of watching Bosnia dissolve because that is exactly what she wants it to do.

The irony of the name you selected has obviously escaped you.

When Croatia joins NATO even Slovenia has to do its part (like Greece that had to allow NATO troops to pass so they could go to Kosovo,) other issues notwithstanding.

No where did I state that Croats want to stay in Bosnia. It's obvious: Croats in BiH would rather be united with Croatia, Serbs there with Serbia and Kosovo with Albania, however never mistake the reaction of nationalists with state objectives and actions. Serbs might be able to 'leave,' but not with those borders. Last time Muslims and Croats fought together and only NATO bombing threats stopped them from taking Banja Luka. Why would Croatia sit still when before the war 48% of the Srpska population was non-Serb and now it's 97% Serb? Dodik has 0 support in EU or NATO. Only Russia supports them, and that's only to make work harder for EU and NATO.

Now you tell me, will Serbia send its army if war breaks out once Dodik declares independence?
What nations will recognize them?
How will they defend their 'Republic' if Bosniaks pick up arms (almost certain) and if Croatia sends its army?
Will Serbia send its dilapidated army even as it seeks iMF funds to prevent national bankruptcy?

What arguments will Bosnian Serbs use to justify the declaration of independence, considering that ICJ found that Bosnian Serbs committed genocide (read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnian_genocide ,) not the other way around?
Keep in mind Serbian arguments against Kosovo's UDI as you answer them.

The irony of the name you selected has obviously escaped you.

I am changing my name to smarter-than-montyspython. Will that make me automatically smarter?
