Hardly ever, when you're speaking to me, Bob.
Which referendums in particular did you have in mind? The one in Bosnia which was open to all but boycotted by the Bosnian Serbs - Karadzic's counter plebescite which was open only to Serbs, or to any of the Kosovar Albanian referendums on independence, none of which have been recognized by anybody outside of Albania?
I grow bored of our interaction, Bob - I learn nothing from you except how to restrain my sarcasm.
All??? You sure about that? Last I heard, the rest of Yugoslavia did not have a voice in the matter. The Bosnian referendum was not open to all of Yugoslavia, it was only held in Bosnia where Izetbegovic could be sure of the results. He did not, could not, meet the requirements as outlined in the Yugoslav constitution for a republic to secede, so he simply changed the rules. And that's a-ok with you. When the RS did to Bosnia what Bosnia did to Yugoslavia, then you moan and bitch. In the words of Dr. Evil, "get a friggin clue," will you?

In that case you certainly haven't learned very much. Although I must say you've learned to spin, dance and obfuscate rather well. Momma must be proud.
