“Yup, the Serbs haven’t started their ethnic killings yet.”

I always say, anyone who talks about “ethnic” strife in the Balkans, relieves one of the responsibility of listening to them.

This is a religious war, and we’re backing the enemy.

There are arguments on both sides on this one, and I never really could sort it out.

But we wouldn't let the south secede and here we are using our clout to let a predominately Muslim country halfway around the world declare independence.

It's a lose lose situation for us. As long as there is a Serb left in Kosovo, they will be at risk.

There's a discussion on the orthodox newsgroup with one saying that we (the west primarily made up of Protestants and Catholics) don't support the orthodox. Count me out on that one. They are also saying that the ethnic cleansing was media spin. I don't know. Naturally they would stick up for their own.

Why do we keep ticking off Russia? Do they have no rights or say in the the world theater? We made them get their missiles out of Cuba. How can we blame them for not liking our having troops in neighboring countries and aiding and abetting what goes against their national interests?

Locally we took in a bunch of displaced Albanians, haven't seen or heard squat about it since.
