All Hail Montenegro!

Re: All Hail Montenegro!

Luis,

In principle, the moment a majority wants independece, ought they not be
afforded it,
regardless of history? In practice, independence rarely is based on majority
rule,
rather 40% for, 40% against, and 20% undecided. The undecided 20% is won over
by
politics. Thus it was in USA independence movement.

As to violence, I am with you, it is abhorrent. I think the mistake the
confederates
made in the USA was to resort to violence. Better to be like Montenegro, or
Singapore
or Norway... all gained independence non-violently. Certainly Canada gained
independence from England nonviolently. It seems to me violence is introduced
by
thugs who use the good of independence to put a halo on their crimes.
