Ron I believe your logic is false. Of course this is IMHO.
I will attempt to answer your comments once again but this is already taking too much of my time already and I am not in a position to afford to spend all this time in SI kosovo thread again, at least not yet.
> Let's remember that ALL of Yugoslavia was a creation of the post-WWI and II political environment with borders that constantly shifted with each war or ethnic routing.
Yes it was. If we keep this logic up, we can have redrawing of the borders all over this world....Did you know Kuwait was really part of Iraq<g>....
> Leave the situation at the current demographic status quo, with Kosovars in permanent diaspora, and you can GUARANTEE that this
won't be over.
Again all these people were living in their homes before the bombing started! Now the whole region has been destabilized...green cards anyone?
> Place Kosovo under protectorate status, change the gov't in Serbia to one that is more conducive to negotiating in good faith and then we can see what happens. But you simply HAVE TO HAVE A BUFFER between these two warring factions.
You make it sound so easy to just put a new gov't in Serbia, it is not! Serbs are proud people who don't like to be ordered around. As far as the buffer...well Albania is officially supporting Nato and the KLA, in other words they have pretty much declared war against the Serbs. That border will always be unstable...As far as the Kosovars they can return if they can forget fantasizing about independence...
> He has been
opposed to NATO and UN presence in Kosovo for years claiming it was a
violation of Serbia's sovereignty.
Wrong again. The Yugoslav govt was not against UN presence...they did not want to accept hostile "peacekeeping" troops, have them roaming around and after 3 years declare that the people voted for independence in a "fair" election, catch my drift?
I could go on but son just woke up and wants to kick the soccer ball around again outside.
Later
