Neocon,

The Yugoslavian Government had something of a strange
predicament. As I understand it, one of the ultra-
nationalist Serbian Parties was pondering what to do
with these Kosovars. They would not adopt the common
Serbo-Croat language. They identified with Albanians
and the nation. One idea they had was to saturate the
Albanians with American pop culture so as to destroy
their identity. Not a bad idea! Here in California
we are actually engaged in the same kind of war. We
have millions of Latin American immigrants. Californians
started to see that they were becoming gentrified so
they passed several ballot propositions such as 187,
and 209, which were designed to force Latins to speak
english, deny the illegals welfare and jobs, and make
them conform to the American way of life. We have a
Kosovo situation developing here. The propositions were
passed by 60% of the vote but were both shot down by
liberal judges with axes to grind. The war for control
is probably going to be ugly.
