For year the Albanians were driving the Serbs and non-Albanians out of Kosovo. Just look back to US articles on the subject back in the 1980's.
A combined force of illegal immigration to Kosovo from Albania, Albanians having the highest birthrate in Europe in the 1980's and Albanians driving all the non-Albanians out of Kosovo, eventually Albanians became the majority in Kosovo. Through a combination of the Yugoslav central government cracking down on Albanian ethnic cleansing behavior and Albanian organizing, an Albanian insurgency movement to make Kosovo "independent" grew. Eventually, the Kosovo Albanians wanted to rip Kosovo off of Serbia and make it independent. An Albanian mafia that started even back in the old 1970's and 1980's Yugoslavia, used a growing business in drugs, guns and sex slavery to finance their efforts --and that Mafia flourished after the UN took over Kosovo in 1999 . The Kosovo Albanians also found other outside financial and political backers to help them. First it was guys like Pacoli, bin Laden (virtually all of the Kosovo Albanians are Moslem) -- and eventually even the US.
No, JSDude1, "Serbs are" NOT "on the wrong side of this". Kosovo is sovereign Serbian land, and we have no right to steal it from them for our little Muslim "Albanian pets" -- anymore than someone would have the right to steal California and give it to Mexicans for "all the wrongs previously done to Hispanics in the US"! Serbia has as much a right to its sovereignty as we do to ours.
Excellent reading on the subject from an American point of view can be found in Julia Gorins "Ending the Balkan Quagmire" article.
Sorry about that, the “Ending the Balkan Quagmire Article is here: http://www.americanthinker.com/2007/07/ending_the_balkan_quagmire_at.html
-thanks-
You mistake me, I said “we” as in the USA, not Serbia.
And still we've learned nothing.
