Segregated Bosnia

The New York Times has a good article on ethnic divisions in Bosnia, pitting Bosniaks (Muslims) vs. Croats with Bosnian Serbs sniping from the sidelines. There isn’t much current violence but also little mixing or cooperation.

The two groups coexist side-by-side like the Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland or the French and English speakers in Canada. Anyplace that is taking in large numbers of ethnically different immigrants faces this sort of future.

It’s no fun, ask a Canadian or anybody else who has lived in those conditions. A future it would be well to avoid, if possible. See H. Clinton’s comments below.
