A'Brit' - You have completely blown any credibility by your outburst accusing anyone of questioning Nato's attack on Serbia as being a 'denier of the holocaust' etc.

Some basic considerations for you:
Even for those who do take the ICTY seriously (Tony Blaaair, Hashim Thaci, Del Ponte and yourself) indictees are not presumed guilty before their trial (by the way, there will be plenty of KLA 'fighters' on their way there soon as a result of the recent moves in Belgrade);
For such a 'humanitarian' why have you not mentioned a word about the millions of people to have suffered as a result of Nato's actions and the KLA? Not just Serbians (who you seem to class as non-human), but also Albanians, Roma, Jews, Turks, Egyptians...;
As Banat asked: what exactly is a 'Kosovar'? Don't you mean a 'Kosovarian'?!

"People like you are resposible for the deaths, torture, and rape of many, you who chose to turn a blind eye, to wash your hands, just as those who ignored and denied the holocaust."

Very big accusations for a little person to make. I would love for you to say such a thing to my face. Is that the best that you can do in the way of 'argument'? New Labour type accusations? It doesn't work against facts, especially nowadays.

Why do you have such an interest in Albanian independence, A'Brit'? I meet British people with whom I dispute what happened in Kosovo to one extent or another, but none of them are still following the 1999 spin. (And none of them would have spoken so glibly about Britain and England.)

By the way, when you redirect people to the ICTY as 'evidence' of what happened make sure of your facts. The charge of genocide in Kosovo was disproved by the UN and removed from the Milosevic indictment. Just another hysterical tabloid piece of sensationalism.

He definetly has more than passing interest in all this. I doubt he is of British origin. Most probably Albanian with British passport, or of Albaninan heritage.

I don't mind him being Albanian and defending his position, but why is he trying to decieve us by being a Brit?

In Serbia, we sometimes refer to ourselves by our geographical origin. I'm a Banachanin, for example (being from Banat myself). Shumadinats is a person from Shumadia (central Serbia). Machvanats is someone from Machva (the wider area around the city of Shabats). Sremats is someone from Srem. Kosovats is a Serb from Kosovo.

Just like is case with other Serbian names (Kosovo="Kosova", Metohia=non-existent, Pech="Peja", etc.), the Albanians have taken this one and bastardized it. Kosovats [sp. Kosovac] (a Serb from Kosovo) thus became "Kosovar" ("Kosovo Albanian", we're led to believe). The term has been launched onto the world stage and everybody's using it even though they have no idea what it really means.

Kate, ABrit is just showing a lack of debating points, my daughter if put in that position would simply say......"Whatever," to avoid looking completely silly.
