his abortion of a nation reabsorbed into Bosnia Depends what time frame you are looking at. Short-term, maybe. Long-term, never. [trust me, it was tried before]
But if anything is an abortion of a "nation" it is the so-called "Bosniaks," Muslim Slavs with Serbian and Croatian surnames. And Bosnia itself, like its so-called "nation," is an artificial concoction, kept together (barely) only through external might.
However, you should know that absorbing a nation is genocide. You wishted it. I note it, for the record.

It is hard for Hop and I to have much sympathy for the Bosnian Serbs. We know too much. They are quite unloveable. But yes, perhaps they will find there way to the Serb state. Quite why they would want to join forces with such an economic basket case I'm not sure, but then reason of the type that Hop and I can relate to has rarely been the flavor of the month in this region.

As soon as the Wallonians and Flemish decide they need to set at each other's throats (just like in the good old days...) and put down this Frankenstein known as Belgium, I'll agree with you.
Otherwise, the ethnic distinctions that the retards in the Balkans have been making such hay with will fade into obscurity with time, just like is happening everywhere else in the world.
Yeah, slowly, I know.
And since when did absorption equal genocide? Did West Germany do something nasty to the East Germans that I'm unaware of?
