Kosovo's Triumph Sets a Troubling Precedent for the Palestinians

The fledgling failed-state of Kosovo -- an entity that is as lacking in economic viability and political stability as the Palestinian territories -- is also a great boon for the global jihad. It is true that Kosovar Muslims by and large do not subscribe to radical Islam. But it is also true that they have allowed their territory to be used as bases for Al Qaeda operations; that members of the ruling Kosovo Liberation Army have direct links to Al Qaeda; and that the Islamic world as a whole perceived Kosovo's fight for independence from Serbia as a jihad for Islamic domination of the disputed province.

For Israel, Kosovo's U.S.-backed declaration of independence should be a source of alarm great enough to require a rethinking of foreign policy. Unfortunately, rather than understand and implement the lessons of Kosovo, the Olmert government is working to ensure that they are re-enacted in the international community's treatment of Israel and the Palestinians. Today, Israel is enabling the Palestinians to set the political and legal conditions for the establishment of an internationally recognized state that will be at war with Israel.

By accepting the road-map plan to a two-state solution in 2004, Israel empowered the United States, the European Union, Russia and the United Nations, who comprise the international Quartet, to serve as judges of Palestinian and Israeli actions toward one another. That these moves have made Israel dependent on the kindness of strangers was made clear this week when Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni instructed Israel's ambassadors to launch a campaign to convince the international community that Israel and the Palestinians are making great strides in their negotiations toward the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Wanna try to sell the lie that Gutman didn’t know Soros was funding him? LOL!

Should Taiwan be returned to mainland China?
Why?
Japan governed Taiwan longer than mainland China has.
The communist Chinese never occupied or governed Taiwan. It has been defacto independent since 1947.

And Eric Margolis is a paid agent for Arab interests. What’s your point?

Wonderful! The precedent of using NATO as an offensive force to break up nations, in clear violation of its charter, finds its second mission.

Other way around. The communist government in mainland China is illegally usurping the legitimate territories of the Republic of China.

The Republic of China, if you don’t already know, was the government of all China until Mao and his communist forces routed them. They, in turn, fled to the chinese province of Taiwan, were the communist forces could not dislodge them.

Sounds to me Caroline, that they ARE subscribing to radical Islam!!!!WTF else do you need to subscribe???????

Of course you know they got his approval before they announced it. They wouldn’t be independent if not for Bill Clinton’ misguided war. But I’m really not surprised Bush followed through.
