Here's what I think -- it SUCKS. It also SUCKED when Clinton first got us involved in his little excellent adventure in the Balkans.
And heres why is sucks: Fast forward 20 years and you'll see the U.N., backed by China, and/or Russia 'demanding' a separate 'free& nation' for the 'ethnic Mexicans' in the US Southwest. And thanks to precedent like this and convoluted international treaties, we'll be 'obliged' to do it.
Of course US Citizens just might protest a tad and what will follow will make the so-called 'ethnic cleaning' in the Balkans look like a Camp Fire Girl bake sale.
When we going to bring our troops home from Kosovo? Wasn’t it supposed to be Christmas 1997?? Where is Turda on that??
Pray for W and Our Troops
Kosovo is a de facto muslim country. Therefore its residents need the possibility to choose a gouvernment that is suitable to their needs. This is what we all call freedom. President Bush is right to urge independence for Kosovo. I also understand that the Kosovarians do not want to live under Serbian control. We all know what the Serbians done to their muslim minorities. Nobody would have put Israel under the protection of Germany after 1945 as well.
Since it will be a small entity the threat from this new muslim country will not be very impressive for the rest of Europe. It is better to have stable and clear political conditions than a new “Gaza strip” within such a weak and incapable country like Serbia. There will be some loud whining about “the loss of old Serbian earth and monasteries” but the Serbs will be much better off without this badland. Instead of wasting huge amounts of money and blood into a senseless guerilla war they can concentrate on the economic development of their country.
How about some independence for the USA, el presidente jorge?
“”Sooner rather than later you’ve got to say `Enough’s enough. Kosovo’s independent,’” Bush said during a news conference with the prime minister of this tiny, impoverished country.”
I wonder if he would have the balls to make an equally applicable statement about Taiwan.
No, Bush is simply trying to please the left wing as usual. Every time he does something right, I prepare for the next liberal marxist sellout he will do and he has not failed being the foolish moderate liberal he is.
Jail Border Patrol for shooting a Mexican drug runner and
have open borders for Mexico!
INSANE!
The only good thing that came of 40+ years of Communist rule in Albania, was that Islam was destroyed in that country.
The most fanatical Muslims in Albanian diaspora are the Kosovo Albanians.
And if they get their independence, they aren’t going to stop there, they are going to want the big prize, domination of “Greater Albania.”
This is just further fall out from the incompetence of the state department during the cold war.
They have successfully supported a genocide by moslems and sugar coated it to the here today gone tommorrow elected politicians.
Independent Kossovo is about an intelligent decision by GWBush as Supporting the Religious fanatics in IRAN was for Jimmy Carter.
Both did and DO lead to the same bloody result for the world.
The cheering is for a nevil chamberlin moment for GWBush.
(they only need room to grow, they only want peaceful coexistence, peace in our time.)
the clintons read robert kaplan’s “balkan ghosts”, an over-rated book imo. they took the side of the moslems against the south slavs.
bush bot is continuing their moslem policy.
i don’t agree. the field of crows is highly symbolic to the south slavs and they’re embittered that the u.s. is working against them.
the clinton and bush policies agitate the russians. at the end of the cold war and the fall of the soviet union the u.s. promised understanding. the russians feel humiliated.
How about America George?
