I'm sorry. I don't agree with a thing you wrote. Some other time perhaps. As a lagniappe, the "Albanians" have been a majority in Kosovo since probably the 17th century, and certainly by the end of the 18th century. Serbia's own census confirms that majority pre world war II.

The actual population figures may be the basis for many arguments, but the ROOT ISSUE is the Albanians have no legitimate basis for being in Kosovo, and they have inflicted more terror on the Serbs than the Serbs have been ALLEGED to have done to them.

Add to the fact that the Albanians have a systematically been destroying the ancient churches in Kosovo, built by the Serbs ... the Albanians seeking to destroy the very history of Kosovo - tells me that the ethnic Albanians should not be supported in the slightest!!

As mentioned elsewhere ... the Albanians tended to create "massacres" that could be blamed on the Serbs. They have prepretrated lies by the thousands .... and of course, now that Clinton helped the KLA ... we have made Eastern Europe save for the drug trade!!

You can make some determination of the "good guys" and "bad guys" by looking at their friends and enemies. Since the Serbs were our faithful allies in WWII, I would be skeptical to start with ... then as I see that the Albanians were good little Nazis ... I would be hesitant to support them. And looking at the situation 50 years after WWII - I see that there are some issues that can cloud the situation - but there is NOTHING that the ethnic Albanians have done to justify our support, and our war against Serbia. See this article that discusses the "ethnic cleansing of Kosovo people by Serbs" ...http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a383b13b27205.htm

And to add insult to injury ... when we aid the predominantly Muslim ethnic Albanians in Kosovo - does our country get any consideration of "aid to Muslims" ... heck no... they still hate us and still want to kill us.

It was stupid of us to aid the ethnic Albanians.

Try reading: http://www.srpska-mreza.com/bookstore/kosovo/kosovo.htm - the later chapters describe the forced depopulation of Serbs and settlement of Albanians in Kosovo after WWII (and after significant ethnic cleansing where Serbs were killed by Nazi supporters.)
