As far as the association between the Serbs and the Nazis' 'final solution>> You mean it is simply none? "Final Solution" was to eliminate Jews from the face of the earth, not to run them off from Europe to Palestine....Serbs at worst try to run them off to Albania, but more like destroy their ability to separate Kosovo from Serbia) since they know they have to accept their return (clearly not all but many) At any rate it is like comparing Civil War in America with Civil War in Russia-nothing in common

Nuke44, I think we are back into what we were doing before<g> > Basing the right and wrong of the conflict on who was there fist is not valid. The ethnic Albanians were there first. -Fact. Slavs did not exist into the area until their southern migrations in the 7th century. Irrelevant. Who brought up the issue of "being there first" anyway? By taking the same logic we would not exist! >Kosovo is less than half the size it was in 1978. -Fact. The ruling Serbs have used their power to rest territory from Kosovo for the last twenty years, in an effort to rid themselves of the ethnic Albanians, until there was no place left for the ethnic Albanians to go. And no choice but to except exile and death or turn and fight. Wrong. The only organized "ethnic cleansing" was being committed by the Kosovar Albanians for years mistreating and kicking out the Serbs...Check the population figures... >Kosovo contains 3/4 of the mineral wealth in what is now Yugoslavia. That is the true motivation for the Serbs "holy patriotic war"-Fact. Even I can't relocate a country's natural resources through the power of rhetoric. I agree. But do not underestimate that Kosovo is to the Serbs what Jerusalem is to the Jews (with or without natural resources). > As far as the association between the Serbs and the Nazis' 'final solution', it's pretty simple. Two ethnic groups occupying a specified area. One group is far more powerful militarily than the other. That group decides to destroy the other group through genocide and "ethnic cleansing" ,absorbing it's land and stealing it's property, while using ethnic hatred and "holy sovereignty" as a justification. Nato has done a lot more to contribute in "ethnic cleansing" than a few paramilitary Serb nationalist criminals could do in decades!!! Just like the old days, nuke44. We have managed no insults so far wow!!<g>
