Here's the basic idea more or less...

"I shall simply relate a personal experience, and I hope to be forgiven for crudity. I went to stay for four days in Kosovo with my national service regiment, the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, which was on duty there. In the presence of the then colonel, David Allfrey, and the then second in command, now colonel of the regiment, Ben Edwards, I was able to talk at length with some of the local Albanian leaders. I would not have had that conversation had not the guns of the British Army been behind me, because they were pretty rough customers. They were truculent, saying, to put it crudely, "Of course we're going to win—we have the power of the penis." By that, they meant that they were going to use population to achieve their objective—greater Albania. Some of us who opposed involvement in Kosovo from the beginning thought that we were being taken for a ride—twisted around the little finger of people whose agenda was very different from what Britain and the United States thought they wanted. The way in which we were manipulated by the Albanians must teach us a lesson."

Ping to Wraith, your fellow countrymen apparently share your sentiments.

That is not language old people would use and there is no "Greater Albania." There maybe an ethnic Albania that was divided unjustly in 1912's thanks to Russia's support for our neighbors, but that will be solved democratically.

The "Balkan Peace" is another Serbian propaganda outlet, just as http://www.kosovocompromise.com/ is. They are so smart they even choose innocent sounding names. Too bad this is how they also lose credibility.

"On this day, against their own charter and without debate or a directive from the United Nations, the US led NATO military alliance bombarded Serbia and Montenegro for 78 days. NATO’s deadly armada left the civilian infrastructure of Yugoslavia in ruins, millions of innocent civilians homeless and thousands dead. The effects of the NATO aggression will be felt by the people of Southeastern Europe for decades to come." http://www.balkanpeace.org/index.php?index=/content/about.incl

Typical of Serbian propaganda: Serbs didn't do anything bad. Poor innocent little things.

Regarding children: Now there is no excuse: even if you boycott Viagra because it was invented by an Albanian, there is Cialis. Get busy or disappear, nations and tribes come and go.
