Fusion, Where are you? Come out, come out, where ever you are!
Excellent work as always Pericles. Further proof of the sober analysis from Greece about the Balkans. If Mr. Stavrou represents the rational thinking behind Greek strategic thinking about the Balkans then a "Greater Albania" is doomed.
So far, Bush has charted an excellent course for American Foriegn policy in the Balkans in terms of turning around the Clinton Admin's efforts by singling out terrorism as the enemy.
The greater Albania that people like fusion like to push down our throats is built on lies, deception, and evil. Here today and gone tommorrow. What will triumph is rational thinking, just goals, and dedication to the rule of Law. Values that are the hallmark of western thinking.
Greeks have consistently dealt with the events in the Balkans under these terms.
Prof. Nikolaos Stavrou teaches political science at Howard University, USA.
This is why many Greeks are angry at America. Milosekiller was a nut and got extremely carried away, but the Serbian people believed they where merely fighting to keep their land free of fundamentalists who will one day wipe them out. Too late now. Clintoon and the media did a number on y'all. Time to study the History of the Balkans. Eg The country that calls itself "Macedonia" has NOTHING to do with Alexander the Great. They are Muslims left over from the Ottoman empire, who decided to hijack the glorious name and insignia of great Al. Greeks were told to shut up and put up with it. Also, read on the Battle of Kosovo in the Byzantine times. You'll learn the roots of the "innocent, opressed" Kosovars.
