This is a sad and very informative article which helps explain what motivated the rioters who burned the U.S. Embassy in Serbia. If you have any questions about why the American Embassy was attacked then I would urge you to follow the link and read the entire article. It explains the history of Zoran's family and shows why he hated the United States which he blamed for the murder of his Grandmother.

My girlfriend is a Serb. Fortunately she’s lived in America for long enough to understand that we’re damned if we do and damned if we don’t in most situations.

I don’t think there is any evidence that he was intentionally killed. Presumably he went into the embassy starting fires and got himself trapped behind the flames. He may have been drunk at the time which would have made that more likely.

And this type of stuff is why I support Ron Paul’s take on foreign intervention.
WTF business is it of ours meddling in the Balkans ? Can someone really explain to me why we went there, and why we are still there ?

I am not quite willing to go as far as Ron Paul is. However, I would guess that Ron Paul and I would probably be in total agreement when it comes to the Balkins - we simply should not be there. All we are doing is hurting Christian Serbs and infuriating Russia.

I think everyones hands are dirty on this one. But....I don’t believe we should allow muslims to take a country away from the Serbs. We are at great fault on this one.

Let’s dust off and nuke the site from orbit, just to be sure.

My girl sees Kosovo as lost and predicts it will recombine into a much larger islamic nation formed from pieces of several nations in the area.
She also offers it as a lesson that Americans had better pay attention to regaurding our open borders and the influx of non Americans.

"...I dont believe we should allow muslims to take a country away from the Serbs." No argument here. Absolutely none!

We could've just let the Serbs ethnically cleanse Kosovo of all Muslims. No, the US is only at fault because we did the right thing. Let the Serbs whine...

Too bad that many Americans don't realize that thru the last century the Serbs were dedicated allies of America. They saved something around 500 U.S. fliers from the Nazis and their Albanian/Balkan Muzzie allies. Between Klinton and now our own idiot Bush, we've managed to alienate an ally of over a century and also aided Germany in accomplishing one of their
failed objectives of two world wars.
We sure needed the Serbs as allies in our war against the crazy muzzies. I'm afraid it'll be damned difficult for them to ever trust us again.

I agree we should not be allowing the Muslims to take the country away from the Christians, but we and the UN have stood by while the Muslims have been driving out the Christians (aka “ethnic cleansing”) for a long time now.
This was a major mistake of Clinton’s and Bush should have at least washed his hands of it instead of perpetuating it, but he has sat idly by and allowed the State Department to continue their all-too-typical pro-Muslim approach based on their faulty reasoning that they can somehow win points with the Muslim terrorists by promoting Muslims in situations like this.

As a side note, my relatives in Greece are quite worried about the situation now in Macedonia because of the present situation in Kosovo. This is nothing but appeasement of the muzzies.
They will never be satisfied !.There will probably be war in the region now.

You do realize that you are agreeing with La Raza (The Race), that once the U.S. Southwest becomes majority latino population, they declare their independance from us, don't you? Go back and REstudy your European history.

My girlfriend didn’t agree with the bombing of her home (who would?) but says that international intervention was needed but it was needed 20 years earlier.

I share his rage, and I served in/around Albania (for the USA).
