The conclusions this article makes are the direct opposite of reality. It was the left who was pushing for interference in the Balkans and bombing the Serbs, while the right was mostly of the opinion that this was the ex-Yugoslavs' problem and the west should let them sort it out themselves.

As for Vasa Cubrilovic he was just one man, and his opinions were never supported by the Serbian government. I don't understand why Albanians constantly refer to him. I'm sure I could find some random Albanian somewhere who advocates the expulsion of Serbs from Kosovo, does that mean I should constantly refer to that random Albanian as if he speaks for the Albanian government?

By the way I do support the expulsion of all Albanians from Kosovo who do not have documentation proving that they are Serbian citizens. We both know it would have been impossible for Albanians to become such a large majority in Kosovo if there wasn't some illegal immigration from Albania. I estimate at least 50% of Kosovo Albos are illegal immigrants, or the offspring of illegal immigrants. They should be kicked out. That's not ethnic cleansing.

>>>The conclusions this article makes are the direct opposite of reality. It was the left who was pushing for interference in the Balkans and bombing the Serbs, while the right was mostly of the opinion that this was the ex-Yugoslavs' problem and the west should let them sort it out themselves.

The conclusions of the article are indeed correct. Note that this article is written from a Europian (British) perspective, and in Europe it is the Euro-Socialists/neo-communists who uphold the point of view that Serbia was the victim of a conspiracy. It is a sort of strange irony that here in the US it is quite the opposite (of course there are no bonafide Socialists in the US, even though the dems come pretty close to it). This irony comes as a consequence of the fact that:
1) Most conservatives hate Bubba with a passion and it happened under Bubba's watch so it was inherently wrong.
2) They mistakenly view it as a religious conflict.

>>>As for Vasa Cubrilovic he was just one man, and his opinions were never supported by the Serbian government.

Yes Vasa Cubrilovic was one man, so let's move on to another man. Let's see if you can guess who said it:
"Serbia may lose the war, but there will be no more Albanians in Kosovo"

>>>By the way I do support the expulsion of all Albanians from Kosovo who do not have documentation proving that they are Serbian citizens.

How convenient to state this, considering that it is well documented Serb military tore the papers of many Kosovars as they were kicking them out of Kosova.

>>>We both know it would have been impossible for Albanians to become such a large majority in Kosovo if there wasn't some illegal immigration from Albania. I estimate at least 50% of Kosovo Albos are illegal immigrants, or the offspring of illegal immigrants.

Serb myth, sort of like the one that said there were 16 unclaimed bodies from Albania proper in the morgues after the riots (thoroughly debunked). I would be shocked if the total number reached 5%. Ethnic Albanians have been the majority in Kosova at least since the end of the 17th century; I suggest you look at birth rates and Serb emigration patterns for a real explanation of why the Albanian majority rose to such a high percentage.

Well, your name-sake's "Kosovo Solution" was in many respects simply an updated version of Cubrilovic's plans.

OK Seselj, how about some truth in advertising--are you an SRS member? And why did you pick the name of an extremist nationalist war criminal for your FReep name? If that is your name or a family name, I apologize; but based on your positions on the issues & that name, I sometimes wonder if I'm typing to someone who's radius of travel is about a 6 x 6 space in Holland.
