First we lead a 78 day NATO bombing in favor of Kosovo Albanians and now we are going to butt heads with Russia over them? They are not worth it!

The Kosovars are friendly towards muslim terrorists, while the Serbs are more friendly to us. Basically, we joined the wrong team in that war.

Kosovo can go piss up a rope for all I care.

Kosovo has been in political limbo since 1999, when a U.S.-led bombing campaign drove out Serbian troops under President Slobodan Milosevic.

Who ordered that attack and why was Kosovo such a threat to us? /s

How will we react in the future if an overwhelmingly Mexican population demands independence for AZ, CA, NM, and TX?

[Wraith]

You can bet that the Kosovo Albanians will resort to violence, its their way. Independence or no independence their still will be violence. Kosovo independence is very dangerous.

We should have left once Bush took office.

Boy Klinton really got us stuck in another VietNam.......

What's the exit strategy?

[redgolum]

Not good.

We took the land away from the Serbian Christians, who were then driven out, and now the invaders want "independence".

No wonder Russia is a bit miffed.

I have never understood why the U.S. had to intervene in a situation that could have been handled by Europeans. I assume it's because the Democrats believe this was a good, humanitarian war - despite the fact that we had no national interest at stake. It's the wars in the Middle East, where we do have a national interest, that are the bad wars.

The "west" is missing how deeply culture is given prominence, even political prominence, in Russia and in much eastern Europe, on a par with what the west views as "left" and "right" political positions.

Current Russian support for Serbia reflects the east's unashamed cultural affinities and their unashamed defense of their native cultures, more than a continuation of the former "communist" linkages between Russia and Easten Europe.

It is only natural that the west would misunderstand this, about Russia and Eastern Europe, as it continues the left-inspired march to destroy its own culture, while it raises a political class that applauds that suicidal effort as a positive development.

Our political class cannot see the importance of culture to Russia and much of eastern Europe, as it's own political lens dismisses its own culture (long-term long-in-development roots of historic-ethnic-language-religious-philosophical values) as largely irrelevant.

We helped Kosovo and what did they give us? Terrorist attacks. :(
