Why don’t you mention that fact Bosnian Muslims and Croatian nationalists were a part of the Black Hand as well?

But Kosovo? It simply wasn’t true.

Huh? If I remember correctly, the Serbs massed in Kosova and were just about to do the same thing they did in Bosnia. We had to bomb them out of Kosovo. Are you nit picking here because genocide isn't a laughing matter..?

Especially when Blue helmets try to enforce this secession. Of course by that time the media will regale us with tales of “American Rape rooms” and “USA Genocide against poor Aztlan communities”. I think some people would actually believe it too.

“Let azltan(spel?) slice off a piece of the US and see how Americans would react over that. Maybe they would have a little empathy on how the Serbs feel.”

You’d think, huh?

Do you know any Albanians?

The only one I know is a goon and cheat-shot artist. Is that on the right track?

I would venture to say that there are more Mexican citizens living in the San Gabriel Valley and East Los Angeles than there are American Citizens. Those pieces of real estate once belonged to Mexico and the loyalty of the people living in those areas is more the Mexico than it is the United States.

What if the San Gabriel Valley declared it's independence from the United States and Mexico recognized the new country?

How many Mexican Embassies in the United States would suddenly find themselves in flames?

Don’t beat yourselves up too much, self-described Amerikkans :0)

The betrayal of Serbia by Clinton/the West was terrible, but it was just the one incident. 99% of the time America and NATO have been a hugely positive force for good.

I say this as a non-American. We British (and the French) did something very similar, and equally bone-headed/shameful - take your pick - over the Sudetenland in the run up to WWII. At the time it seemed the best thing to do, but of course it wasn’t.

You have no idea what you’re talking about, you sound like NYT flunky, a little short on facts.

Check that. There is credible evidence that things did not happen in the way they were represented. The UN went in to get evidence for war crimes, torture, genocide by Serbia and I don’t believe they found any.

I have not seen so much as one article from the MSM in this regard. I do know some who made claims of rape, torture and genocide have been arrested and will be tried. This keeps coming up and I can never find this information, although I have seen it, it keeps disappearing. There was proof of what these Muslims we are protecting now did to the Serbs in WW2. In fact, they were so good at what they did Hitler envied them.

If nothing else, this was poor diplomacy on our part. This will set a really bad precedent. So look out Israel, Indonesia and any number of other spots on the globe.

In fact, so was Bill bombing Belgrade itself when Serbia had never done one thing to America.

Well actually I believe we are being stupid. I think we’re misjudging the importance of this issue to the Russians. We brushed them aside in ‘99, and intervened in Kosovo over their objections. The result was fall of Yeltsin and Putin’s rise. Yeltsin looked weak as he was casually brushed aside by the west.

The same is happening this time, except, Putin cannot afford to look weak. Furthermore, WHAT possible geopolitical benefit is there to us creating another Palestine equivalent in the hart of southern Europe, legitimizing what already serves as the primary narcotics transshipment route into western Europe ? I mean, seriously. There’s nothing there. No resources. No oil. Just millions of uneducated, unemployed, Muslim welfare cases that we and Europe now must feed. And for all that we’re willing to piss off the two powers on the Asian continent that directly compete with us (Russia & China). While being overextended in the Middle East.

Holy crap is that overconfidence in Russian’s ability to swallow another slap in the face without reprecussions.

Again you side with the Muslim murderers. The only big massacre in Bosnia was the Bosnian Muslims murdering Serbs and Croats.

Cool. Let’s pull out of there and end all aid to them. Non-interventionism is looking better and better by the day, and it’s oh so much cheaper for the taxpayer.

You remember what the media convinced you of. How did the Serbs “mass in Kosovo? It was THEIR country invaded by illegal alien Muslim Albanians. The US needed to mind their own business.

Serbs have a right to be angry. I do understand why. Bill Clinton had a war started to help us to get our minds off of Monica Lewinsky.

Don’t worry, Obama can negotiate with them, I’m sure if we just sit down and talk we see how this was all just a misunderstanding that could have been avoided with dialogue.

You are making great points. Russia would have as much right to invade Kosovo as we did to invade Serbia. Are we going to go to the brink of nuclear war with Russia over Kosovo?

If Putin had any kind of balls his tanks would already be there, perhaps Bush did look into his soul and he knows better.

The truth is that stuff like this starts world wars.
