    I still think we should have propped up Yugoslavia.

    On a similar story: Wikileaks blew the whistle on the corruption of the ex-Croatian prime minister who has fled the country on its release, and Interpol has now issued a warrant for his arrest.

    The story was known since Carla del Ponte went public with it (it makes one wonder why she had to wait for her term to end to go with it).

    What's new here is that supposedly Hasim Thaci was directly involved and he's gonna be Kosovo's next PM.

    Here's a tenner that says nothing's gonna change and Thaci is still gonna be regarded as freedom fighter.

    it was known since forever that kosovan separatist guerillas were committing atrocities on serb communities precisely to bring down a reprisal against the poor downtrodden kosovans, which would get massive coverage and public outrage whereas the initiating incident would not.

    bunch of bandits who have been rewarded with a state, should never have happened.

    So Louis, what exactly is a liberal like you doing with some common sense? You traitor to your people...
    Seriously though, I am glad that this is getting some news coverage in the US, because majority of the American public (and nearly all of the professors at my Uni) think that Serbs are a bunch of evil, race purist, genocidal, new age Nazis (yeah, the Nazi comparison is made all the time), and that Muslim Albanians, Bosnians, and 'Kosovars' were all innocent victims of Serbian war crimes.

    Sadly true, to the extent that most of them know ANYTHING about the Balkans in the first place. Most know a thin smattering about the glories of ancient Greece, a vague thing or two about Transylvania, that some Czech women are apparently willing to do virtually anything while being filmed, and that the Serbs are responsible for ethnic cleansing. Of course, some of them would have trouble finding New Jersey on a map of the World, much less Kosovo....and yes, I include some of the residents of New Jersey in that statement.

    That's bad. Even I know where New Jersey is and I never even been to America.

    Pft, we all know New Jersey is a Channel Island.


    The bolloxness of Kosovo does not excuse Serbia. Serbia is still the main instigator of the several wars, and Serbian (para)militaries were the worst bunch of murdering, raping scum to have disgraced Europe since WWII.

    Again, it's not the topic of the thread so I won't comment but even if it's true does that mean that for one band of murdering, raping scum the rewards are sanctions, bombs, destruction, poverty, threats, suspension of human rights, partitioning and for other band the rewards are sovereign state where they can commit atrocities freely, high political positions, dinners with highest officials worldwide, money, prestige and the likes?

    And New Jersey is south of Leicester, of course.

    Quite logically, both Serbia and Kosovo were the two parts of the same partition and now exist as a sovereign state.
