46. It isn't an easy call. I find it difficult to support a group breaking
off from a nation because they are primarily of a different religion and culture ("Can't we all just get along?"). But it looks like the Serbs made economic life such a hardship (60% unemployment, while the SSerbs have good international relations) that the kosovars want independence to finally start over. In that sense, I can support it, rather than going back to the situation they had a few decades ago.

Tough one, huh? As one minister (Gomes) has written, it isn't about trying to discern right from wrong, but right for the wrong reasons, and wrong for the right reasons, and shades of right and wrong as choices.

My hope is that there is no violence against people there.
