Re: Knin, Croatia
From what I know about Knin's history, I would say it's Croatian. Just because there were much more Serbs than Croats living there at that time doesn't make it Serbian, by that logic Albanians would rightfuly claim Kosovo as their land. But then again, I don't want to be a smart ass about this subject, I'm more or less neutral on Balkan war subject.
Serb refugees came to Slovenia too, for that I'm grateful as they fought against Ottomans, however they assimilated in Slovenian society so there were no isolated islands of Serbs back when Slovenia declared it's independence. If there were and descendants of Serb refugees would claim this or that town or city as their own, I would do the same as Croats with Knin.

"The two-party-system and the artificial division between left and right is especially malign because it confines people into mental prisons, from which they are almost not able to get out. Even in a one-party-system it is mentally easier to be "in the opposition", "against the system". In the two-party-system (which is in fact one-party-system as well), on the other hand, if the left is currently in the office and you are opposed to the system, it is automatically assumed that you are a "rightist", ie. supporter of the party of the right. And vice versa. Most people refuse to see that the two major parties are in fact one and the same party. Thus the liberal democracy, especially in its venomous two-party variety, is the most successful system of totalitarian manipulation ever invented. Each of the two parties usually has a very dedicated voting herd, needless to say."
