Probably true. But your argument leads to the logical conclusion of social Darwinism because it forces the majority population to slam down on the minority one to prevent them from reproducing.

I am a fan of autonomy and that is the direction Kosovo should be pushed into - not 'independence' because if you are a student of history you will know that Kosovo is not viable and will create problems with Albania and other Balkan nations. We want to limit the 'Balkanization' of the Balkans not create more jigsaw puzzles on that map.

The reason why Albanian Muslims value Kosovo is that they instinctively feel that there must be something very precious about it since Serbs want it so much.

But once Albanians grab it for good, expel all Serbs and Gypsies, destroy monasteries and churches then it will become a desolate hopeless backwater not better than any other remote part of Albania.

Then they will be very confused where all this mystique is gone and they will migrate into greener pastures of welfare state in Western Europe.

Then the Serbs will be able to return and rebuild their holy places. :)

You're unrealistic and ignoring history but well meaning I'm sure. It's not a bad thing to wish for human nature to change but it scares me a bit if that holds even in the face of Islam and it's frequent desire to impose itself...not that I'm saying that fully explains the Balkans....much more to it than that admittedly.


The Albanian birthrate will win out militarily by default baring cataclysm...
I was idealistic too in my teens and early 20s.

I even voted for Jimmah in 76.....man...is that embarassing huh?

Have a good Sunday afternoon!
