I do in fact talk to myself a great deal, as the conversation is of such high quality of course.

What is the “ultimate idiocy” ? Holding nationalistic grudges for hundreds of years ? Making the children pay for the sins of their fathers, grandfathers, and distant ancestors ? Holding on to hopeless claims that are of no value and will benefit nobody ?

Forgive, and seek progress and prosperity in new endeavors, not in nostalgia and backwards obsessions. That is the wiser course for anybody.

As far as I can tell, Albanian domination of Kosovo pre-dated WWII. Whatever the misbehavior of the Albanians of that age, this does not seem a reasonable justification to deny them independence 60 years later. Even the Germans and Japanese were forgiven.

Most European nations that did “collaborate” with the Nazis at one point or another. The only question is the degree.
