But his argument has a point. Not the one he is making, but still. I believe the biggest problem is that our society treats border lines as a sacred cow. Honestly, I think it is a miracle that Czechoslovakia split so easily. But look for all the conflicts in Europe, cold and hot alike. Most of them are because some group wants to separate and govern themselves, but the larger group does not want them to. If CZ-SK split was a model and not an outlier, the world would be much more peaceful place.
