The U.S. embassy itself has sovereignty, that is what I am saying. Destroying it does not help the Serbians.
What do you suggest the Bush administration does now? Should they withdraw their support of the Kosovo state?
Role modeling some integrity and credibility would be nice.
Obviously not -- that would send the message that burning down U.S. embassies gets us to back down from our stated positions. Bad precedent.
But alas, supporting the Kosovo state also set a bad precedent, and one that is sure to encourage separatist groups the world over, including the "Aztlan" types in our own back (and front) yard and Islamists in various global hot spots.
So now we're caught between a moon rock and a hard place thanks to both Bill Clinton for getting the ball rolling by sticking our nose where it doesn't belong (and taking the wrong side to boot) and GWB for expressing his support for this outlaw Islamic regime.
