There is no insurrection in Harlem, because we don't treat our residents like Milosevic treated his minorities.

And once again, Milosevic and his party are out of the equation. You seem determined to keep going round and round in circles with this, in the apparent hope that no one will notice that you can't give us a coherent reason why the Serbs are unfit to govern their own country.

Pssst - Gospic was in October, and the Serbian ethnic cleansing of Croat Kijevo was in August and both predate recognition.

Yeah, and? It still makes it pretty laughable that you think Gospic supports your position.

Milosevic is out of the equation, but it wasn't Milosevic who was doing the dirty work in Kosovo on the ground, was it? Ergo, it will be some time before the Kosovar Albanians are ready to countenance Serbs in uniforms in their midst.

It's a coherent reason, and it was given earlier in this thread. If you don't agree with it, fine - deal with the world and your cognitive dissonance as best you can.

Speaking of not understanding things, the fact that Croats and Serbs were killing each other with great abandon prior to Croatia's being recognized, coupled with the cease-fire put in place after recognition, doesn't support your position that recognition made things worse in Croatia - both parties were hell bent upon achieving their aims through force, the Croats turned out to want it more than the Serbs, and something tells me that the outcome of the various Balkan wars, which ended worse for the Serbs than others, chap your hide and are driving this discussion more than anything else.
