James, Re: genocide = 1. systematic killing of a racial or cultural group" p.s. Robert there are 100,000 Albanians living peacefully right now in Belgrade. Also there are 350,000 Hungarians in Novi Sad. Hardly genocide. I think the above is a specious argument of yours because, if carried to its logical climax, it would lead us to consider anything short of a ''Rwanda slaughter'' (over 500,000 people massacred) as a trivial brawl... Sure enough, there are likely a few thousands of ethnic Albanians on the loose in Serbia and then, what's the deal?! Milosevic is smart enough not to shock the world public opinion with a blatant, first-degree genocide! So, think of those spared Albanians as of Milosevic's token Albanians.

<< p.s. Robert there are 100,000 Albanians living peacefully right now in Belgrade. >> Yes, and they have already been suffering from limited persecution at the hands of the Serbs. Let's say that NATO didn't try to stop the Serbs from committing Genocide in Kosovo. Slob and Dog Face would next target the Albanians in Serbia, just the same as Hitler targetted the Jews and other minorities in Germany. Why? Well, when the Serbs run out of families to steal from in Kosovo, where next could they steal from? And, after the Albanians in Serbia, the Hungarians would be next. Of this, there is no doubt. << Hardly genocide. They are defending their land against militant drug-funded terrorists that wish to separate it from their country and annex it to Albania. >> The KLA was formed after 10 years of racist brutality by the Serbs against the Albanians in Kosovo. Before Slob and Dog Face decided to use racial hatred to keep themselves in power, Kosovo was a peaceful, economically stable area. The KLA is truly a group of civilians that have banded together to protect their families from "ethinic cleansing". I hope that you would do the same thing if your family was threatened. << The U.S. would do the exact same thing ... it may happen to them in 2020 when Hispanics become the largest population in California; they may just decide to take back California. >> America consists of many races and cultures. We can't take back California from Hispanics if Hispanics are Americans. As you say, our country is changing. To me, there is no doubt that the US will have a Hispanic majority sometime in the future. Either we learn to get along together or we will destroy what we have.
