“Indeed, therefore the Albanians have been the majority in Kosovo for 400 years or so.”
Ultimate idiocy! In that way you can also say that Croatians were majority in N-W part of Bosnia in region around Kozara mountain during WW2 (key word JASENOVAC). No! Both croatian fascists and Albanians used the situation of war and siding with nazists tried to make Serbienfrei territories that they got from Hitler.
“The proper appreciation of history does not lie in pushing isolated facts, but in developing perspective. Please do not fall into this trap!” Are you talking to yourself often?
I do in fact talk to myself a great deal, as the conversation is of such high quality of course.
What is the “ultimate idiocy” ? Holding nationalistic grudges for hundreds of years ? Making the children pay for the sins of their fathers, grandfathers, and distant ancestors ? Holding on to hopeless claims that are of no value and will benefit nobody ?
Forgive, and seek progress and prosperity in new endeavors, not in nostalgia and backwards obsessions. That is the wiser course for anybody.
As far as I can tell, Albanian domination of Kosovo pre-dated WWII. Whatever the misbehavior of the Albanians of that age, this does not seem a reasonable justification to deny them independence 60 years later. Even the Germans and Japanese were forgiven.
