It seems to me, Kolo, that they sometimes forget that Orthodox Christians are, after all, Christians. To side with Muslims against own fellow Christians is quite telling.

This Evnagelical Administration will not leave office without first recognizing Kosovo's independence as a final act of a string of acts aimed at promoting Mohammedans in Europe the way we helped build Taliban against the Soviets and then having to fight it.

The Catholic Church did not come to the rescue of Constantinople (save for a small contingent), nor did Catholic kings send armies to help Orthodox Christain Serbs at the battle on the Kosovo Field in 1389.

But at least the Catholic Church never, ever, sided with Muslims against other Christians! It took Protestant America to make that historical landmark.

LOLOL -- except when it came to the slaughter of 500,000 Serbs during WWII. Talk about historical dyslexia!!!

Man are you wrong. Take off the self proclaimed martyrdom and look at the situation as it exists.

Where are these terrorists coming from and who is supplying them? Iran. If we move on Iran militarily there is a very real possibility that nationalist pride would support the mullahs and any hopes for change there would end. Also, how much support do you think you would find with the media. Has the media been honest in reporting the radical change going on in Bosnia, and Kosovo?

Finally, if we turn all our energies to correcting the mistakes we made in supporting the Bosnians what happens on the bigger battlefronts of Iraq and Afghanistan?

The Roman church after gaining state recognition has always sought to centralize power in itself. Do you believe that the EOC believing itself to be equal in authority had anything to do with this?
