The removal of the fence is the first step in its probable torching and further ethnic cleansing of the Serbs of Kosovo. Kosovo and our war against the Serbs has become a forgotten front. It is out of the consciousness of our public and yet it was the first aggressive war we fought since the fall of the Soviet Union against people friendly tous. There was less justification for that war than for the Iraq war. I still don't understand why George Bush did not change our policy in Kosovo after his election, but instead adopted Clinton's self serving policy.
The Kosovo Protection Corp or the Kosovo police are our creation. They are the same people we recruited and armed for the KLA. We simply converted them into a police force. In 1998 they included large number of people whom we call al Qaeda today. I wonder how many of them are still there.
The KLA were terrorists in 1998 and as the Albanian Kosovo police they are still terrorists. They are responsible for the destruction of numerous Orthodox Churches and monasteries under our watch. Those churches survived 500 years of rather brutal Turkish occupation but could not survive four years of our occupation.
