The West is Wrong on Kosovo
The Brussels Journal ^ | 4 December 2007

Posted on 12/05/2007 4:45:01 PM PST by Doctor13

President Bush declared a "war on terror" after the Jihadist attacks on the United States in 2001. Six years later, all he has achieved is bleeding American tax payers financially and American soldiers literally while overseeing the eradication of non-Muslim communities in Iraq. Now his administration supports independence for terrorist-sponsoring Muslims in the Balkans and in the Palestinian territories. Unless he does something very substantial in 2008, George W. Bush risks being remembered as one of the worst presidents in American history.

I listened to a speech by Patrick Sookhdeo, a former Muslim who recently launched his latest book, Global Jihad: The Future in the Face of Militant Islam. Sookhdeo had done a lot of excellent – and frightening – research regarding the Islamization of Western Europe, especially Britain. He recalled having a conversation with a senior Western official regarding what would happen if Muslims in a region of, say, Britain or the Netherlands, should declare that they would no longer accept the laws of the central government and would form a breakaway Islamic Republic. This official then stated that they would probably just have to quietly accept that. When witnessing the Muslim riots in France, which more and more resemble a civil war, this question is no longer just hypothetical. […]

Granting Jihadist Muslims independence in Kosovo after they have conducted ethnic cleansing of non-Muslims will establish an extremely dangerous precedent. Not only is it immoral to sacrifice the freedom or perhaps existence of smaller nations, be that the Serbs or the Israelis, in order to save your own skin. As the example of Czechoslovakia demonstrated during WW2, it is also counterproductive. Supporting independence for Muslim Albanians in Kosovo will not lead to stabilization of the Balkans; it will rather lead to the Balkanization of the West. The new thug state will serve as a launching pad for Jihad activities against non-Muslims, just like an independent Palestinian state would do in the Middle East.

In the case of Kosovo, the Russians are right and Western leaders, both in the European Union and the United States, are wrong. The Serbs have suffered enough. Give them a break!

I guess all the European men with backbone were killed in WWI and WWII.

THis is what happens when you have a nation of “only children”. People that grow up without siblings, as the only child in the whole household, have a different perspective. That is, they think they are the center of the universe.

We need to stay out of Kosovo. Let the EU handle it, it’s in their backyard. Bring our troops home from there.

Twenty years from now, the US military effort on behalf of "ethnic Albanians" (i.e. feuding muslim irridentists in Serbia, a sovereign state) against a european country will seem completely bizarre.

It already seems puzzling.

Can anyone imagine Saudi Arabia under any circumstances sending it's fighter planes to Sudan to attack MUSLIM gov't forces there, on behalf of Christian blacks and animists?

It seems strange, right?

Now can you imagine Saudi Arabia at risk of imminent terrorist attack by Christians doing that same thing? On behalf of Christians?

Beam me up!

Actually, I should say all the European LEADERS with backbone (Margaret Thatcher excepted). I have met a number of Europeans and many of them are quite tough (British soccer holigans come to mind). However, their leaders are too timid by far. This attitude is no doubt an over-reaction intended to avoid another big European war. However, it is appeasement pure and simple and will cause a civil war one day that may make WWII pale in comparison.

I kind of agree with you about only children. However, from the point of view that they are more valuable and parents are less inclined to sacrifice them in war.

I deeply dislike Putin and never imagined for a minute that he "loved God" and that we "could work with him". But, I would welcome Vladimir the scary's efforts to put the kibosh on our dim-witted plans to help the Albanians in Kosovo against the Serbs.

It really has become a strange world when, similar to any leftist, I would welcome the efforts of a foreign power to thwart my president's misguided policy.

“It really has become a strange world when, similar to any leftist, I would welcome the efforts of a foreign power to thwart my president’s misguided policy”

I concur with your assesment and paraphase my numerous posts on Kosovo:
Kosovo will be the spark that brings the EU into disolution.
“Peasant revolts” have happened in Europes’ past for much the same reasons as they are starting to occur now.

To wit; the Swiss Conservatives, Flemish separatists and Dutch patriots, Poles against Queers, Danes against Muslims, and East German villagers -aka, “media anointed neoNazi hooligans” are all just waiting for the spark to unleash their movements against the Muslims and the NWO elites in Brussels, Berlin, and London.

Seems that the EU/NWO elites are EITHER oblivious to their gated communities being isolated and their names/faces spread across the InterNet (can run but can’t hide, anymore)
OR they have some rather neferious plan to destroy us all, yet to be implemented. Time does seem to be runnig out on the usual liberal responses to “the situation”.

If it comes to that, then we may as well as have a good lynching party with all such politicians as guests of honor.
