Serbs protesters attack UN police

KOSOVSKA MITROVICA, Kosovo (AP) — Serbs protesting Kosovo's independence for a fifth straight day Friday attacked U.N. police guarding a key bridge in northern Kosovo with stones, glass bottles and firecrackers on Friday.

Serbia's prime minister appealed for calm as the European Union condemned rioting in the capital Belgrade overnight when demonstrators attacked the U.S. embassy and other Western mission. The United States and EU heavyweights Britain, France and Germany have formally recognized Kosovo.

Serbian President Boris Tadic called an emergency meeting of the national security council, saying the riots that engulfed the capital overnight must "never happen again."

In Serb-dominated northern Kosovo, demonstrators waved Serbian flags and chanted "Kosovo is ours!" Police tried to keep protesters off the Kosovska Mitrovica bridge over the Ibar River. The bridge, which divides Kosovo Serbs from ethnic Albanians, has long been a flashpoint of tensions in Kosovo's restive north

I cannot wait to see KFOR under any US NATO/?UN contingent come to Mexifornia to police the newly proclaimed Azatlan.

Again, I hope you do not claim to be an American while you wish hateful (even though implausible) ill on America.

There will be no Aztlan, in part because the US does not do things like finance and arm paramilitaries to enforce collective punishments against Mexicans in retaliation for crimes committed by Mexican citizens against Americans.

We arrest and prosecute the criminals and only the criminals.

The litany of lies and misinformationused to convince the clueless masses like you of the righteousness of the case against ‘the Serbs’ is quite astounding.

The big lie technique has been used effectively by totalitarian regimes both islamic and Marxist but in the case of recent Balkan history, we see many many small lies used cunningly to create a smoke screen around the reality of the situation, perpetuated by a subservient media and presscorp, for the gullible like you.

Some have forgotten who our enemy is. They've adopted the stance, go along to get along, no ripples in the water. That point of view will come back at them.

The analogy is right on. The Serbs are hamstrung by UN occupation forces and no fly zones since they dared refusing to yield to a binding referendum for secession which would have been tantamount to Europe forcing Lincoln to yield to the South’s referendum to secede from the Union.

Over several generations the Serbs in Kosovo became outnumbered by Albanian Muslim immigrants (illegal or no) who averaged six children per household and who practiced the ancient Islamist tradition of killing and driving out the local Christians.

And when I say we deserve seeing our embassy there burned, it’s because if someone else (ANYONE ELSE) dared trying to pull something like this on America, which isn’t militarily impotent, you’d join in with everyone else applauding the swift, angry and righteous retribution we’d exact on the idiots who tried it. And we’d all agree they had it coming.

I’ve been proud of America all my life. The Kosovo affair is a stunning, almost heart-rending departure from America’s tradition of upholding liberty and justice.

So you don’t mind the destruction of ancient Serbian Orthodox Christian churches then?

You never answered my question I posed to you yesterday on another thread.

I'm sorry. I had no idea you considered it to be a serious question.

Will you back US troops under UN command wiping the floor with Israelis when they protests our recognition of Palestine in Jeruselem?

The only way UN troops would be deployed in Jerusalem is if the Israeli government agreed to it.

If UN troops tried to claim authority in Jerusalem without Israel's agreement, the US would use its authority as a permanent member of the UN Security Council to submarine such a ploy.

If the UN somehow tried to go ahead against US opposition, the US would not allow its troops to be used for such an undertaking and would continue to supply Israel with weapons and materiel.

"I support the Serbian cause in the larger sense. But their actions here are unbecoming."

time for Serbia to count its allies proceed with a reasoned diplomatic counter attack.

No, I think that the criminals who engage in such activity should be arrested, tried, convicted and sent to rot in jail.

But heaven forbid we do not burn churches...Muslim Albanians revel in this practice under "careful" Orwellian KFOR observation. It is shameful and dangerous - apparently not for you - for any American to be putting up with KFOR or any US military wearing the blue beret of interanational fascism.


Christian church under the "protection": of KFOR after it was burned and desecrated by Kosovo Albanians--the ones we gave "independence" to

But they aren't, instead they're being handed a province of Serbia where they'll have free reign to commit more such crimes.

It's pure idiocy.

Is it “My country right or wrong” thinking carried to absurd lengths???

Yeah some of these clowns think the government is their buddy.

Many Americans have lost the idea that the Government needs to be watched and kept on a short leash.

News Flash folks!

The Government is not your buddy It's not your pal. The government of the people has a caveat. Don't let it get control of YOU!

Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.

GEORGE WASHINGTON

Poor Israel. Surrounded by countries who want to annihilate them or drive them into the sea.

KFOR was right there on many occasions when churches were desecrated...not one of those thousands of cute Albanians were arrested or prosecuted or anything. Instead they are seen as heroic jihadis.

“Wide awake but morally unconscious” knows that.

Dream on Mr Danger. Our ideals have been corrupted by the one world ideology of secular corporate narcolepsy - and if one way to so this is by satisfying our masters OPEC then so be it.

We’re all conservatives and I’m sure we all love America. If I were less informed on this topic, I’m sure I’d agree with you.
