i await the death of Khomeini with excitement.

So, it's OK to celebrate the death of one religious leader (Who incidentally is more influential and revered,Whether we like it or not), but not another?
Hmmm. I'm just puzzled as to what the boundary between the two is.

Ironically, it was nationality, not faith. In general religion doesn't play important role in former Yugoslavia. It's more of a new thing for nationalists, something that reaffirms their nationality, Serb/Orthodox, Croat/Catholic, Bosniak/Muslim. People in Serbia screaming in agony over Albanians destroying holy places in Kosovo didn't lift a finger to do something when those places were left to rot during communism.

Would those nationalist divisions have existed without those religious decisions? AFAIK Serbian and Croatian are practically the same language (Apart from the alphabet), and although I'm no linguist, it appears from a cursory glance at Wikipedia to be no more different from each other as Bayernisch is from Hochdeutsch.

the differecnes stretch far far far more than a mere language. and there are subtle differences especially in conversational forms of the languages.

and no it isnt right i think khomeini dying is a good thing as a religious leader, though as a man he left little to be desired (i dont like him in other words...... strongly)
