The RS's secession was illegitimate because it excluded from the decision making process actual inhabitants of the RS, namely non-Serbs.

So while you're Ok with ignoring the wishes of, say, the 59% of the district of Zvornik (1991) who were Muslim and sending in Arkan to change the demographics of that area to make it more amenable to little ethno-bigots such as yourself, I'm not.

And if you're going to insist on hewing to your "Pan Yugoslav" voting model, I'll shove the "Pan European" voting model back down your throat.

You know, the one that saw NATO bombing Serbs twice in the same decade because Milosevic was exporting non-Serb refugees to Europe and making your dream Europe's nightmare.

Got any other inane arguments to float my way?

Yugoslavia was a souvereign and recognized state. The European Union does not resemble anything even close to a souvereign state and it's ridiculous to campare them. What would have been wrong with a Yugoslav referendum on Yugoslavia's future? All Yugoslav citizens within the borders of the only recognized entity, namely Yugoslavia, could have voted on Yugoslav soil on the future of Yugoslavia. That's democracy and the majority will get it's will. You don't call elections in the US and Germany "Pan American" or "Pan Germanic" don't you? The problem you have with it, is the fact that Serbs made up the largest voting block and thus a vote in favor to dismember Yugoslavia was very unlikely to succeed. That's why Tudman, Izetbegovic and Genscher rejected it as well. Like you do. But at the same time you insist on your "Pan Bosnian" voting model for the electorate in Bosnia.

Split hairs all you like, Hoplite. Was not the RS, by definition, areas controlled by the SDS? Regardless, including whatever non-SDS members there were in the RS referendum would have made the same difference as if Serbs had voted in the Bosnian referendum - none. When the RS declared independence from Bosnia, it did the same thing that Bosnia did to Yugoslavia. You can support both or reject both, I really don't care. But there is no other way around it. End of story.

And before you start calling people "ethno-bigots", be careful of the stones you choose to throw Mr. I Don't Give a Rat's Ass About the Hundreds of Thousands of Serbs Cleansed from Krajina & Kosovo.

Now, please, elaborate on this "Pan European" nonsense. I'll even make it easy on you and open wide...

AAAAHHHHHHHHH....

Go ahead and shove away.
