The sad part is, he was there to "protect Serbs from Albanians".

Let’s let the Europeans deal with this one, as it is of their making. Let’s help them as much as they have helped us in Iraq.

That's the honorable way of doing things in the world. Just bomb everyone. Never mind the fact that NATO stole the land from Christian Serbs.

Don’t be so sure. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Ukes are siding with the “Kosovars”, as the Serbs are natural allies of the Russians, whom Ukrainians generally despise.

Well, I’m sick of this cowboy arrogance crap that people think is “American”. A bunch of cowboy tough guys talking hard that have never read a book cover to cover their whole life.

While armed police are dying at the hands of nasty Serbs, Tibetans are dying at the hands of our friends the Chicoms.

Ultimately Tibetans will win, I have no doubt about it.

No one wins by killing armed officers or burning embassies.

I believe that destiny bring you what you deserve.

I beg to differ. They are there to protect the Albanians. If not for the US/NATO/EU/UN, Serbia would sweep through all those muslims within a week and stop at the Greek border IMO.

But politics aside, it's sad that this Policeman died. He was, I think, only 25. R.I.P.

Yes. poor man. God rests his soul.
But Im affraid that more of violence is on the way.

Serbs say that two Serbs were shot by sniper-rounds, both men are in koma now in hospitals.

they asked for it, didn’t they?

I have read somewhere that Serbs from Kosovo were the strongest supporters of Milosevik.

This is another case of idiot getting roasted in our embassy in Belgrade. I am sure if they stayed home they would be fine.

here we have more blood on Serbian hands.

I am still not sure why they did not shoot more, .50 cal handles any kind of violent demonstrations very efficiently.

Actually, it’s the USA that made this conflict what it is.
