I’m still trying to understand why we are recognizing and therefore supporting ethnic Albanians(Muslims) while thwarting, after killing, Christian Serbs. I think W has made a huge mistake here.
There is more to Kosovo than meets the eye. A line in the sand was drawn by George Bush Senior long before Clinton took office. It was rumored that on the way to Clinton’s inaguration when Bush and Clinton shared the same limo on the way from the White House to the Capitol that Bush Sr. explained the importance of standing firm on Kosovo. Clinton apparently bought into the argument as he eventually bombed Serbia forcing their withdrawl from Kosovo in 1999. What no one knows, and it appears can’t find out, is what Kosovo holds that is so important in the first place. Why did Bush Sr. feel that it was such an important place to make a stand?
