>>>>>I presume Haradinaj would explain his "duty as a citizen" is to Kosovo, not Serbia. Since they were incorporated into Serbia by conquest in 1912 most of the Kosovar Albanians have considered Serb rule as illegitimate<<<<<<

And this delusion has to be supported by International community. Suppose a bunch of Mexican American thugs in Texas considered US rule illegitimate and start killing USPS personnel, US forrest rangers and start killing and torturing fellow Mexican Americans to coerce others to support them?

Could they claim it was their "duty of a citizen".

Such lunacy would be more logical - Texas was once part of Mexico and Kosovo was NEVER part of Albania.

They could claim whatever they want. We'd find them, arrest them, and give them a fair trial. If the Serbs had done that in Kosovo, there'd have been no 1999 bombing, no UNMIK or KFOR and not much to talk about on this thread.

Tough to make the SW USA to Kosovo analogy until we start sending our police, our Army, and our ex-cons in little private paramilitary bands on rampages of robbing, raping, killing and burning down the houses of Hispanic-Americans.
