I suggest you read a little more history than follow Star Trek episodes. Serb have never done certain things that pretty much define Croats and their statehood (it sure ain't the language they borrowed, or the way they cross). That is a fact. Review the history of the Croatian "Rights" movement, founded by Ante Starcevic in the mid 19th century, or his successor Josip Frank.
Find a parallel to them on the Serb side, in both the "program" and political influence, and their realization, and then maybe you could equate the two. Until then, any such equation is highly prejudical.
It's not just balck-and-white, Hoplite. That's in another movie I don't watch -- Star Wars and History according to Steven Spielberg. That way, even Elmer Fudd can "understand" what's going on.
Happy weekend to you too.
Sorry, Hop -- live by the rank-out, die by the rank-out.
