The level of adherence to principles of the International Community is obvious in the example of their treatment of Serbs in Kosovo compared to the treatment of Albanians in Macedonia. In Macedonia, despite the fact that Albanian population in Macedonia is acknowledged civil rights guaranteed by a Constitution that is recommended and praised by the International Community itself, the International Community requires more and more up to the point of disintegration of Macedonia. Allegedly, for the promotion of human rights . Meanwhile, in Kosovo the election day approaches, and in order to participate the Serbs request from the International Community to do something about the missing people, to guarantee that Kosovo will not be allowed to brake away from Serbia (which anyway is not allowed by the resolution of UN), to prevent minorisation of the Serbs in Kosovo (to avoid minorisation of Albanians in Macedonia the constitution is being changed) and to obtain local government in municipalities where the Serbs are the majority ( which was a direct reason to further change the Macedonian Constitution).
Of course, there is no way that the International Community will fulfill any of the requirements of the Serbs from Kosovo. But, of course, in Macedonia the International Community uses every possible and impossible measure to obtain civil rights for the Albanians, rights and privileges that the Serbs from Kosovo can only dream of. Now that is what one would call adherence to principles, based upon equal international standards for human rights.
Yeah, right. Only if you consider Americans to be that Nazis.
The Serbian people saved the lives of 520 American airmen downed over occupied Yugoslav territory in WWII, for which the Legion of Merit Award was given to Gen. Draza Mihailovic by Dwight D. Eisenhower, President Truman and the Congress of the United States of America. The State Department kept that award secret for 21 years! Was that a display of Liberty and Justice for All? This past week British archives have been released that clearly demonstrate that Mihailovic was not a Nazi collaborator as Titos regime portrayed him for the past 50 years, he was a victim of communist propaganda that altered British and American support of the Mihailovic Royalists in favor of Titos communism.
Browaed Lion, what you have written is shameful! Unless you are Croatian or Moslem Nazi, you should apologize publicly.

LET THE SERBS HAVE THEIR COUNTRY BACK!
