^What if it does more bad than good?

Was that at me, or at Sapphi?

The decision for independence is usually not one arrived at haphazardly, and usually the debate about whether independence will do more bad than good is one resolved by the people making the resolution.

States that resolve to have their own independence usually mean that they have a strong sense of national identity, which generally leads to a functional state. So long as their nationalism does not take on radical or racist intentions, independence is preferable to not, so long as the people will it

You (damn I hope Sapphi is not actually typing a reply for me!)

And to be frank, I don't see the good that has came out of this. Yes, the balkans are extremely multicultural and yes they can't always live with eachother, but it seems that this has created more inconveniences and trouble than good. It sounds very nice and ideological on paper, but sadly too much problems always emerge.

South Sudan, however, has the correct idea.
