Congressman Lantos, the sponsor of the resolution for Kosovo independence, is a Holocaust survivor. He had no problem recognizing what was happening to the Kosovar Albanians at the hands of the Serbs in the 1990s. As a result, he is committed to the issue and has sponsored this same legislation every congressional session.

Both the Clinton & Bush State Departments have opposed the resolution as the U.S. position is to reach a final status in Kosovo within the context of UN Resolution 1244 and the "standards before status" strategy. Final status talks will most probably begin this summer. Outright independence and re-incorporation into Serbia are both unlikely outcomes.

And like many others, he is too small minded to realize the situation has reversed itself.

Perhaps the sight of destroyed Orthodox churches make him smile. I know that works for some of the pro-KLA posters here.

Sorry, but Lantos's memories didn't make him recognize what was happening to the Kosovar Albanians--it left him open to their propaganda.

Sure Milosevic was fighting a dirty war, but all the news reports of 'genocide' have been debunked--some even during the Clinton bombing campaign, if one payed attention to AFP and the LA Times.

It's really quite grotesque to have a Holocaust survivor sponsoring such a measure--the third largest death camp during WW II was a Jasanovac, was run by the Croatian Ustashe and Albanian Muslim SS, and murdered mostly Serbs, not Jews. Its work is part of the reason the Serb population of Kosovo was so easily overtaken by illegal Albanian immigration. Giving the descendants of the Nazi-allied Albanians the Serbian spiritual heartland may not quite be giving Hitler a posthumous victory, but it's sure giving one to his allies-in-murder.

And Sen. Lieberman isn't! Yet Liebrman said that terrorist KLA and the U.S. stand for the same values! This has to do with human values not who is a Holocaust survivor. These two have no problems supporting Muslim terrorists in Europe, while Israeli citizens are being targeted by their Muslim borthers in the Middle East! I guess money talks. See my post above.

wrong, wrong, wrong

Lantos simply took a lot of 'contributions' from KLA front organizations..............Ben Works did a expose of this back in the late 90's
