The analogy is right on. The Serbs are hamstrung by UN occupation forces and no fly zones since they dared refusing to yield to a binding referendum for secession which would have been tantamount to Europe forcing Lincoln to yield to the South’s referendum to secede from the Union.
Over several generations the Serbs in Kosovo became outnumbered by Albanian Muslim immigrants (illegal or no) who averaged six children per household and who practiced the ancient Islamist tradition of killing and driving out the local Christians.
And when I say we deserve seeing our embassy there burned, it’s because if someone else (ANYONE ELSE) dared trying to pull something like this on America, which isn’t militarily impotent, you’d join in with everyone else applauding the swift, angry and righteous retribution we’d exact on the idiots who tried it. And we’d all agree they had it coming.
I’ve been proud of America all my life. The Kosovo affair is a stunning, almost heart-rending departure from America’s tradition of upholding liberty and justice.
Again, it is not - since a Kosovar whose ancestors have continuously lived in Pristina for centuries is not the same as a Mexican who snuck into California last year.

Except, of course, that Europe could have done no such thing. They thought about it at first, but soon realized that they would never be able to back it up.

Up until the 1990s, there didn't seem to be much killing and driving out in the area - until all parties in the region, including Serbs, caught ethnonationalist fever.
If the Albanians had been having so many more children, then the Serbs have no one to blame but themselves for ignoring the teaching of their own national church.

When Germany allied itself with Mexico in WWI to induce Mexico to seize US territory, Americans did not burn down the German or Mexican embassies or torch German restaurants.
Again, your words, no matter how you scramble to justify them, mark you as a traitor.

Apparently you and Michelle Obama share the services of her new replacement speechwriter.

In other words, Slobodan Milosevic's Serbia represented liberty and justice. Amazing.
Ditto. Thank you.
