When we attacked Yugoslavia in defense of the Kosovar Albanians, one thing we said was that we were not pushing for independence for the region that has been a part of Serbia for 2000 years.
Apparently, we lied.
In my mind, this would be no different than Europe, or any large nation going on the record pushing for the return of Manhattan, or the breadbasket to the native Americans who sold it for $26 in beads. We would consider that an assault on our sovereignty. Why then, do we push for the same in another country? The Albanians are pseudo-sovereign as it is - different language, different schools, no taxes, etc., under the premise of CALLING themselves part of Serbia. Why do we support them? Genocide can't be the answer - we supported Croatian independence, and they commited acts of genocide in the name of Nazism during WWII against the Serbs. So, why? It's got to be because Serbia is a communist nation, and we eschew communism. And that is a horrid reason to tear apart a nation that has done us no harm.
