Ya, that must be it. I agree with you. Hoplite should continue to post, on this topic and any other that catches his interest, so that he can be exposed as to his opinion on anything as to what he may have an opinion, or, oh the horror, hard factual material.
"hard factual material."
This is never a horror but welcomed. Hard Factual material, must be triangulated or more. In other words, the material should have actual quotes, pictures, and/or unbiased studies, stats etc. The sources should be validated as to their origins....ICG for example cannot be trusted when it comes to the Balkans. Wesley Clark is on the staff...The ICG is just another Think tank for the Globalist. In other cases they do have good reports depending on the agenda......What they write needs to be checked with other sources before taking them at face value. Those who are PRO-Serb nationalist will support Milosevic.....now you have to step back from there also. Their opinion may be biased as well, by turning most if not all Pro-Serb rhetoric to anti-UN, America, Albanians etc..... There is a group of Albanians that are also victim to the Albanian Greater Albania (mostly LDK members or members of the former FARK). The Serbian Mafia (Black Hand)....is alive and well and works with the Albanian Mafia for obvious reasons. The could care less about other Serbs and the Serbs inside Kosovo. This is only scratching the surface.............
