We'll pay for our stupidity as we always do. It's called blowback but we're to stupid to learn from all the blows we got back so we just keep trudging in our insanity.

Montenegro won't be cut off from Serbia if the Albanian fascists get Kosovo from the "international community", but it might be annihilated should the Montenegrin separatists win (the referendum is due this year).


Nearly all of Montenegro's Muslims support the ruling coalition, which is bent on separating Montenegro from Serbia. And it's obvious why - without Serbia, Montenegro stands no chance. As soon as Montenegro declares independence, they will turn against the gov't and demand all kinds of things.

As it is now, 40% of the 650,000 inhabitants support independence, 35% don't. Meanwhile, the separatist gov't (ironically, most of them are, by and large, of Serb ancestry) has disenfranchised some 250,000 Montenegrin citizens who reside and work in Serbia. These people are overwhelmingly pro-union.

Centuries old Albanian terror against Serbs reached pinnacle during the reign of Croat communist dictator Tito. Church properties were destroyed, looted and damaged. Oxen were blinded because they belonged to Serb monasteries. Serb women were raped, number of Serbs was killed, and non-Albanian property was stolen.



September 1988 Prekale, village near city of Pec, Kosovo and Metohija. Serb women are forced to taka arms to protect her children. They couldn’t go out to fetch water, it was that unsafe.

told Belgrade radio B92, after meeting the political director of the British Foreign Office
......................................

B-92...Right there I'm suspect. A pimp-Soros operative.

Not going to happen..no matter what the islamofascists want. No matter what they call themselves---"kosovars" right? I wonder what ethnicity that is...?

And yet the Islam shills continue their age old practice of evil and deceit.

Today news is that "Indpendency: wasn`t actualy what they said. Now west is largely softening what Brit. said.
US ambassador M. Polt in Belgrade, said that "Solution hs not ben formulated and that status of Kosovo will be found on negotiations."

I have spent a considerable amount of time in Kosovo. I hate to break it to you guys, but a majority of the Albanians are pro US, and for western ties. Albanians are both muslim and Christian, something you dont hear much about. Serbians are Orthodox yes, but they are more for stronger ties with Russia, and staying in the orbit of communism. It's a fucked up situation, but kosovo wasn't a religious war, it was an ethnic conflict based on territory and land. I think it would be in the US interest to remain allied with these non secular muslims, they generally are very moderate and liberal.
