This understanding finds its justification in Radans (2003, p. 161) equal blame at the door of both republics: The Slovenian and Croatian declarations of independence in late June 1991 led to war in Yugoslavia. What is relevant is that by the late 1980s, both Slovenia and Croatia started seeking ever closer relations with Western Europe, thus securing additional support for future secession. For example, within the economic field, both republics adopted an autonomous foreign policy through the Alps-Adriatic Work Community, a regional association aimed at fostering cooperation between Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Bavaria, Slovenia and Croatia.

The World Bank has no personal interests -- but billionaires like Soros have personal interests (in the mining industry of Kosovo, for example), and it was Soros, not the World Bank, who funded the propaganda radio station B92. > Chris, I don't believe anything Steve said had to do with you.

You have to read between the lines and look at the real goals. It has nothing to do with my head.

Isn't this absurd -- a Hungarian Jewish girl telling you that all Hungarians are crooks? What would you say if an Hungarian goyim girl told you that all Jews are crooks? "You should be careful about blaming a cultural trait on an individual", you wrote a few lines above. > She said "Mr. Harrell, you are too nice and naïve." I'm afraid she was right on that. > With Soros it's just Hungarian. With Madoff it's just American?? > Cultures are good and they are systems and > you have to learn the rules.

We have the choice of copying parts of various systems into our system, and giving more or less power to adherents of various systems, so it does make sense to put these systems under scrutiny. > I hope the Krugman in my head is the one that succeeds.

The Krugman that succeeds is the Krugman who writes in the NYT, not the one in your head. (And keep in mind that the NYT's motto is: "all that's FIT TO PRINT" -- the uncomfortable truth isn't fit to print in the NYT!) Feeling terribly betrayed afterwards is the cost of being naïve.
