>> who was so successful in dragging the US into meeting its needs in securing Kosovo for Albanians

Actually Serbs, the "peaceful, and the model for Christianity" did that. US finally had enough after seeing the concentration camps, mass killings and rapes in Bosnia where no one intervened (oh, I know they're all "hoaxes").

Kosovo belongs to it's inhabitants, Serbia apparently wanted to treat Albanians who made 80-90% of the population like their "Negroes" and ideally get rid of them, one way or another. George Bush warned Slobo a long time ago, December 25, 1992 to be exact. This was followed by Clinton and W Bush. Hardly a decision made at random.

"I repeatedly reaffirmed the Christmas warning of the Bush administration on instructions, as did the rest of the Clinton administration. His reaction was that Kosovo is an internal matter. We said we accept the fact that Kosovo is inside the Yugoslav national boundary, but that does not give you the right to squash its people.

The Christmas warning basically suggests that the US would take unilateral action, that Kosovo is the red line. The question of the use of force comes up in the spring of 1998. What's the decision on that? What's Washington thinking about that, and what are you advising?

My advice and position on Kosovo, from the beginning of my involvement in the spring of 1998 on, was basically that the Serbs and the Albanians would never be able to settle their problems unless there was an outside international security presence on the ground. The hatred between Serbs and Albanians in Kosovo was far, far greater than any of the so-called ethnic hatreds of Bosnia, which had been grossly exaggerated by the crooks, and the mafioso demagogues in the ethnic communities of Bosnia. This was the real thing in Kosovo between Albanians and the Serbs. Different cultures, different languages, and different histories, but a common obsession with the same sacred soil. And, therefore, it was going to be essential for us to recognize that the situation would require an outside involvement."

"Milosevic said to me at one point, "Are you crazy enough to bomb us over these issues we're talking about in that lousy little Kosovo?" And I said, "You bet, we're just crazy enough to do it." . . .

So, do they pay you by the word to post so much useless nonsense, old mold?

In case you didn’t notice, the World Court found Serbia innocent of what happened in Bosnia. The two are unrelated.

And by the way, where were those “100,000 dead or missing Kosovars”? They were neither dead nor missing, it was all lies to get the US to intervene to fight their battles for them, costing us literally $Billions.

“Sovereignty” is to a country what “private property” is to an individual.

If I hold the title to an apartment building, it doesn’t matter if a thousand renters live there, the property doesn’t belong to the renters just because they are the primary “inhabitants”. It belongs to me, because I paid for the apartment building and I hold the title — it’s my “private property”.

Likewise, it doesn’t matter if the primary inhabitants of Kosovo are Albanians, it isn’t their private property, because it is sovereign Serbia. To argue otherwise is to argue “for Socialism & the rights of the masses”, and against Conservatism.
