Okay, so the "poor helpless America-loving" Albanians want independence. Well all I have to say is I can't wait for Texas and California to reach 75% Mexican population and call for independence to create a Greater Mexico. And, I can't wait for every Latin Speaking country to back the call and recognize their proclaimation of independence. Do you really think that the USA will let that happen or will they bring in the troops to prevent it (ahem, like Serbia did!) Kosovo Albanians have about as much right to independence as we have to declair ownership of all world oxygen.

The Kosovarians would strenuously resist any effort of the North to secede.

Probably just as well, Anderson. Looks like a good project for the European Union.

Germany and France need something to keep them occupied.

Whatever happens, Europe's going to have to work this one out on its own. We seem to be tied up elsewhere.

People talk about "Balkanization" frequently. Sometimes I wonder whether that would be such a bad thing. The smaller a region, the easier true democracy is.

As an American, I believe that the legitimacy of a government derives from the consent of the governed. We fought for our own independence under that banner. Godspeed to the Kosovars in their effort to secure their own freedom.

And if the Serbs in Northern Kosovo want to secede and remain with Serbia, then they should be allowed to do so. Its often seemed to me that that would be the obvious compromise.

Can we call it a quagmire?

HOnestly as much as we seem to like to declare Kosovo a succes, has it ever been anything close to that, or did it just fall off the radar?

Kosovo is Serbia!
All the supporting countrys pushing for it's independnce need to look at their own issues.
America,Italy,France,Germany,England etc...illegal immigrants that are swarming the larger cities. As an American (soldier) who served in Kosovo May 1999 Sep 1999 and Oct 2000 to Nov 2001 We were there to assist the "poor" "helpless" albanians.
Serbs have an average of 1.3 children while Albanians an average of 6.7 Do the math....
Look at what is going on in your country.
Albanians demanded to much allready and with a black eye from Bosnia they decided to start, Yes start a mini war. Problem was they were bringing a knife to a gun fight. And that's when the please help us UN/NATO happened. Clinton knowing that the islamic countries were plotting against the good ole USA thought helping the albanians out would show good face.... well did it?
What will happen now? Lose an ally that America had throught WW11, Serbia or Yugoslovia at the time helped countless Americans but look how they repaid them. I used to love America and what I thought she stood for but I will not want to live here any longer.
