Tricks like this go back to Hitler and beyond.Kinda strange how the american media doesnt want to talk about it right now?

Whites 'foraged'. Cheney is still piously going on about Georgia's precious new democracy and how mean old Vlad the Impaler II is determined to crush it. 'Cause he hates 'freedom', I guess.

kosovo is albanian; may have been albanian continuously for 2,500 yrs.
so waht’s the problem?
serb quest- whether ethically correct or not- to set up a state for serbs only or mainly via warfare, crimes against, and ouster of indigenous pops in the balkans has utterly failed.
croatian quest for greater croatia has also failed.
ideally, kurds, serbs, punjabis, et al shld live in one country. but it can be done humanely no matter how hard we try.
politically, it was possible to gather most albs, serbs, croats, russians, balochis, uighurs each in own country.
but the mighty evil empires such as UK, canada, france, germany, italy, russia, china, spain stood in the way for a humanely-political solutions for troubled people.
and they still do.
