History has been a harsh critic of Neville Chamberlain's decision in 1938 to allow Adolf Hitler to trash the WWI Versailles peace treaty to seize control of and change the borders Europe, first France in the Rhineland, then Czechoslovakia and Poland. President George W. Bush's quick acceptance of the efforts of the Albanians in Kosovo to change the borders of Serbia will also be viewed in history as an appeasement that did not work.
World War II actually began when Adolf Hitler marched a mere 14,500 troops into the Rhineland on March 7, 1936, in violation of the Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I and the Locarno Treaty which was signed in 1925 that included the "Rhineland Pact" between Germany, France, Belgium, Britain and Italy. The Rhineland Pact's main provision was an agreement among Germany, France and Belgium end border raids, with Britain and Italy agreeing to guarantee the borders in the event of aggression by any of the other states. ... Kosovo is for Serbia a land somewhat similar to what Pennsylvania is to Americans. Kosovo is the cradle of Serbian liberty and the center of their Serbian culture. There are hundreds of structures, churches, monuments, monasteries, that attest to that history. What has happened in Kosovo, with America's help, would be similar to a large group of Islamic fundamentalists, whose hero and mentor is Osama Bin Laden, moving into Pennsylvania over the next 50 years, as Albanians did in Kosovo in the 20th Century, and then voting to become an Independent State with membership in the United Nations, as they burned down the Christian churches, Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell while driving out and seizing the property of the remaining Christians, Jews and non-Churched homeowners.

Please tell me that everything is our fault.
I did not hear that in a long time.
As you wish. In this case it is the fault of Washington and it’s foreign policy.
You don’t think we should have stayed out of the Balkans
Bingo! You won the prize!
But here is my take on it,
we are big enough and strong enough to be on the
wrong side every once in a while. Live with it ...
... until we nuke the whole damn place.
You see, that is what happens when we use wrong bombs.
I say we air drop in 1,000,000 M4 carbines and 1 billion rounds of ammunition, then fence the area off. Whoever wants it most will end up with it.
But what is our solution now,
apologize to these drunkies and leave?
Just don’t forget to nuke the place after all,
I’ve heard they know how to swim.
What the US really needs to do is to admit that we don’t give a sh*t what happens in the Balkans. Nothing good ever happened there.
Ha ha! Your statement, not the fact that war could erupt.
You're joking right? NATO can't control anything but their own retreat in the face of an Islam invasion.
I assume that you are referring to Clinton’s unilateral attack on a nation that was posing no threat to the United States.
Don’t forget the one who brought you to the dance.
here is the catch,
shovel-heads from the south did not burn our embassy.
The folks who ordered it as hiding in northern Pakistan, having lost their countries.
Serbs, meanwhile, don't have a culture to worry about the origins of, are not Christian at all, are just a bunch of murdering commie goons, and I didn't have to fall for anything to know it. I watched them murder people for a decade, and I watched useful idiots like you make excuses for it.
But this, this is glorious. They richly deserve it, and as soon as it happened they showed their true colors instantly, dropped all the "it was all Slobo's fault" line and tried to burn our embassy to the ground. Now that they are out in the open for all to see, no American patriot is going to give them the time of day.
Serbs are the new Iranians. As Putin to get you back Kosovo. You'll only have to take over Europe first.
