Let's look at a little more recent numbers:
Ethnic groups: Serb 37.1%, Bosniak 48%, Croat 14.3%, other 0.6% (2000)
So according to the CIA factbook, as of 2000, Bosniaks were 48% of the population.
Could you look up the percent of Bosniaks right before the war in 1991, and put that up?
They say they were "genocided" so I want to see what percentage they were before the war and how far it has fallen to reach 48%.
Then we could calculate that the Serbs owe the Bosniaks this much for "genocide":
(Prewar Bosniak percentage - 48 (postwar percentage)) multiplied by $10 billion. Therefore you will have the Serbs pay the Bosniaks $10 billion for each percentage point of population they lost.
I think that would be fair - so could you do that calculation?
I think that would be fair - so could you do that calculation?
No I couldn't do that calculation. But not because I couldn't get the information. I'm sure that the communists took a census once or twice.
The reason why I couldn't is because I don't think a single dime should be paid. And I don't think that anybody outside of the countries involved should have lifted a finger for any reason.
You may think that would be fair. Me, I think that it's none of my blasted business.
And that was my original point: we (the US) should have kept our noses out of your business.
