I surely hope you have the same attitude when the Mexicans start agitating for the break up of our SW.
I guess this was the UN exit plan, the exit of Serbs from their homeland.
Not a good analogy unless the federal government removes the governor of New Mexico & replaces him and all the other Hispanic elected officials with Anglos to include Anglos from Washington; fires the Hispanic people from the courts & local governments & the police & fire departments; brings in judges & police from out of state to replace them and arrests Hispanics on trumped up charges & holds them for years; fires the Hispanic teachers & either replaces them with Anglos or just closes the schools; beats up and arrests the families of anyone who resists; and when trying to stop the utterly predictable revolt those actions bring on, responds to attack by burning down the nearest town and sending the inhabitants into the hills to live. When the U.S. government starts doing those things in New Mexico, then start making your Kosovo = the SW USA analogy.
As Jesse Helms pointed out, a better analogy for Kosovo revolt against oppressive rule from Belgrade is the American Revolution. In Senator Helms's speech at the United Nations in January of 2000 , he said this about Kosovo:
We are endowed with those "inalienable rights," as Thomas Jefferson proclaimed in our Declaration of Independence, not by kings or despots, but by our Creator. The sovereignty of nations must be respected. But nations derive their sovereignty - their legitimacy - from the consent of the governed. Thus, it follows, that nations can lose their legitimacy when they rule without the consent of the governed; they deservedly discard their sovereignty by brutally oppressing their people. Slobodan Milosevic cannot claim sovereignty over Kosovo when he has murdered Kosovars and piled their bodies into mass graves. Neither can Fidel Castro claim that it is his sovereign right to oppress his people. Nor can Saddam Hussein defend his oppression of the Iraqi people by hiding behind phony claims of sovereignty.
