“I think that all lovers of peace and a civilized life should work to enlighten the world about the impracticability and inhumanity of that famous – or shall I say notorious – 'principle of national self-determination', which has now degenerated into the ultimate horror of ethnic terrorism.
We must fight against such horrors. We must not fall prey to the cynical view that history is just violent and horrible, driven by the lust for gold and oil, for wealth and domination.”
Karl Popper, 'All Life is Problem-Solving'.
