OK, my opinion is that we can think about this topic from two points of view, subjective and objective.

Me, for example, as just an average, ordinary citizen, I can say ``It doesn`t matter if my country is few square kilometers smaller or bigger, it is more important that people live in peace``. But I can`t see any politician, who can take the liberty and responsibility to talk like that, or act in that way. To all of today`s countries, and its` representatives, preserving width of borders is unquestionable, there are no possible compromise on that matter .

Besides, we all know that in similar situations, the countries who are now supporting some secessionist movements across the globe, they would, or they will do all it takes to restrain secessionists in their countries.

That`s why some of the countries` leaders I find hypocritical. If they weren`t, they would come up with some resolution in UN, for example, saying every numerous minority, in every country, has right to self-determine itself, and create a country of its own. But they, the West politicians don`t do that. They`re calling Kosovo case an isolated case, and if they had courage, or if China was less powerful country, they would involve in Tibet struggle for independence, as well, and call it, again- isolated case. And they would call it like that, over and over again, until getting in same position, when they can say- you know the rules, you know the law.

I see their need, but why would we here be hypocritical? In my opinion, these kind of stuff should be discussed in a more general way, beyond national` elements. The question is: Do the large groups of minorities have the right to self-determine, or not? If they do, it should be a general rule, no exceptions. If they, can not, it should also be a general rule, no ``isolated cases``.
