>>The declaration of independence by Kosovo, however, was an act of war.<<
And we supported it.
Does Serbia have an Abraham Lincoln?
That was a diplomatic blunder of immense proportions. What did we get in exchange for giving our diplomatic recognition to Kosovo?
What was in it for us?
Was it worth alienating the Serbians and the Russians?
Now that a putative state of war exists between Serbia and Kosovo, who is going to stop the Serbians from exacting judgment against the rebels in Kosovo?
Are we going to send in troops to fight the Serbians when they and their Russian "advisors" invade Kosovo with tanks and artillery?
Are we willing to kill Serbs and Russians in a ground war over this postage sized future European Palestine?
