This simply does not mean that all of those populations want to destroy their enemies. A large amount either don't care, or even actively protest against the use of violence to resolve disputes. Others are openly hateful of their rivals, but this doesn't mean they want to kill or hurt them.

Imagine what it would be like if the entire populations of both Serbia, Albania, even the whole Balkans fell into that majority.

Many of them do; but one violent act draws more attention than a million people who would never commit such an act. I think we must focus on ways to resolve this without coming to the conclusion that everyone else supports terrorists or wants to destroy the other's country.
I totally agree with you.

I, for once, def do not support terrorism. The people of Kosovo are peaceful. After going through a war, you would think they want to support terrorism? Not even. Not ever.

It's funny how one person commits a crime, the whole population is judged by it. It's ridiculous.
