" Weren't there massive graves where the Serbs were conducting "ethnic cleansing"?"

In reality, no. We were told there were, but they weren't massive by anyone's standards save those of the limp wrists who run Europe and the States. Nothing to the level of what we have found in the Middle East or what happened to the Serbs in WWII.

"Kosov is at the southern end of Serbia isn't. A Serb once told me that the way to look at this situation is as if Mexico wanted Texas back, that Kosov has long been a part of Serbia. Is this accurate?"

I think that's just silly. Texas was never the Mexican homeland nor the center of its religious faith nor are Americans killing Mexicans and torching Roman Catholic churches from one end of the state to the other.

Maybe I didn't frame my question well enough.

The point this Serb was trying to convey was that immigrants from the south flowed into Kosov and after a large number had settled in Kosov the movement to separate from Serbia began. The violence against Christians is endemic of any area Muslims gain a majority, or near majority.

Kolokotronis is correct in that we never found the mass graves that were claimed in Kosovo.

We did, however, find them in Iraq but they were all full of Arabs.

"Kosov[o] is at the southern end of Serbia isn't. A Serb once told me that the way to look at this situation is as if Mexico wanted Texas back, that Kosov[o] has long been a part of Serbia. Is this accurate?"

I think that's just silly. Texas was never the Mexican homeland nor the center of its religious faith nor are Americans killing Mexicans and torching Roman Catholic churches from one end of the state to the other.

Actually, the parallel between Mexico claiming all of Aztlan as their own and what we see happening in Kosovo is a strong one. However, as Kolokotronis points out, the Mexicans would not have as strong a claim to Aztlan as the Serbs do to Kosovo.

The Serbs actually have a much strong claim to Kosovo than Americans do to most of these United States. What a can of worms Bill Clinton opened! I hope none of us live to see it fulfilled.
