Let me tell you something Gerald P, I AM A SERB LIVING IN KOSOVO TODAY!
You say you will fight for freedom of people. Why don't you fight form my freedom??!!! I can't speak my own language, I don't have a freedom of movement, I survived a grenade attack, I DON'T HAVE A RIGHT TO LIVE!!!
It is very easy for you from the distance to talk about Kosovo, but I have to live Kosovo reality every single day! And you know what? During "Serbian rule", at least there was electricity 24hrs and people had jobs.
And many more Serbian houses will be burned, many more Churches destroyed, but we will not give up on Kosovo.
And it's Kosovo not Kosova. Get the name straight before you reveal your arguments.

Nennsy, I cannot and do not dismiss the plight of Serbs in Kosova at the moment. Neither do I want to be an appologist for those responsible. Let's face it, there was a war and there were terrible deeds committed, and the hate runs deep. I wish there were a way to change that quickly and easily, but there isn't.
And I am afraid that the solution that might be best from your perspective, is almost certainly the worst solution for the other 2 million people in Kosova. So there is no choice but to look to the long term, and in the long term I am of the conviction that Kosovar independence is best for Albanians and Serbs in Kosova, and for the whole of the Balkans.

>>>we will not give up on Kosovo.

You seem to be of the same opinion expressed by other Serb posters here, that a military solution is desirable. I am sorry, but to me that is pure nationalistic folly.

I survived a grenade attack

When was this? What were the circumstances surrounding the attack? Do you know who the perpetrators were, or could you identify them by sight?
