Such people are not conservatives, or patriots or Americans.

Nobody "supported" the embassy burning. But a lot of us "understand" the motive behind it and it is a legitimate motive. What we don't understand is why the US Government chose to violate UN Resolution 1244 and recognize the independence of Kosovo, when that resolution guaranteed the territorial integrity and Kosovo as a Serbian province.

The seeds of war have been planted and the US Government has chosen to sow the seeds. We have embarrassed and humiliated the Russians so the question now becomes whether we are going to be willing to sacrifice American troops to ensure the territorial integrity of an independent Kosovo? We have bases there with American troops that are now in the sights of a pissed off Russian Army. That base represents the ONLY strategic military target in the "independent" republic of Kosovo. We should have kept out of this from the beginning.

America makes mistakes and Americans and Conservaties and Patriots need to be ready to criticize our government when it does stupid things like violating UN Resolution 1244 and recognizing Kosovo.

Our reaction should have been to announce that we were pulling our troops out of Kosovo, because our only reason for being there was because of UN Resolution 1244 and that was violated by Kosovo in declaring its independence.

We have now forced Putin's hand. We can only pray he folds. I don't think he will. Why would he?
