BELGRADE, Serbia -- As editor-in-chief of Serbia's oldest and most prestigious daily newspaper, Politika, I am at a loss to explain the West's stubborn support for Kosovo independence to my readers. Only nine years ago, my country was bombed for 78 days by the most powerful military alliance the world has ever seen, and the last thing I want is to pour oil over the fire of anti-Western sentiment. But the truth is, I find myself grappling with the same bitterness and resentment as most of my countrymen.

I understand why the corrupt and twisted Clinton Administration supported Islamofacists when the West supported Kosovo. I DO not understand why the Bush Administration continues this reprehensible policy. It seems to me that Bush did not get rid of the leftist operatives when he took office. This has proven to be plain STUPID because too many corrupt and twisted decisions have been made by the State Department like "land for peace" and the continued support for killing Christians to help terrorists steal their own country, and gain a foothold in Europe. Plus supporting Kosovo independence establishes a dangerous precedent by encouraging other Islamofacists to "create" their own breakaway countries in Russia and maybe China (and elsewhere). This backward policy makes no sense to me!

You talk like there is a difference between the Clinton administration and the Bush administration.

The only difference is rhetoric.

I understand why the corrupt and twisted Clinton Administration supported Islamofacists when the West supported Kosovo. I DO not understand why the Bush Administration continues this reprehensible policy.

Because in practice there is precious little difference between the two parties.

Because in practice there is precious little difference between the two parties. That's why.
