#1 Ah yes. Woodrow Wilson's time bomb for the world.

Self-determination is an absurdity.

The people that spew this rubbish would hardly appreciate all the ramificaitons. The only counter to this idea that the group is the thing, e.g. the "nation" of South Ossetia or Kosovo, is the American principle of individual liberty and empowerment. There is no pristine pure polity beyond the polity of one. Do you really think that all the Serbs in Kosovo want "independence"?

#3 I like the idea. One nation per ethnic group and one nation for all ethnic groups. I think I know which will win.
