Things like that are expected I would be very happy if this stops in actions like that. Also many people here blame Russia etc. They should wake up and see the reallity.

Thanks

There are independence movements all over the US, although most have never really taken up arms against the central government, and even the Puerto Rican nationalists seem to have quieted down.

But these groups all seem to be relatively decently - if somewhat haphazardly - armed, and some actually have some training and the rudiments of logistics support. It would be a different ballgame if one or more of these groups were to pick up international support and become the US central government's very own festering sore.

unfortunately, u can't use what happened years ago on today's politic . society keep moving ahead and policies are changing everyday. And putting aside all the pros and cons, they are fighting for freedom of not only Americans but the World isn't it?

Albanians are pitiful too. They have been discriminated by the majority of the Serbs too. Since both doesn't see eye-to-eye, might jolly-well let their own ethnics govern to stop all these internal bleeding

The demonstration was sponsored by the government. They claim it was supposed to be peaceful. Wishful thinking is no subsitute for police protection.

But Serbia's president announced that Serbia has no intention of going to war over Kosovo. Case closed? Nothing is ever closed when it comes to the Balkans.

Question for all: Why not give Independance to a people that want it?

Now for the answers to come dont make them emotional trolling digs. Make it sensible and practical.

Questions for all:
Why not give Independence to a people that want it?
Why not bomb a country that defends its territory and its independence?
Why not invade a country to call that a "peace-keeping"?
Why not seize a part of a country and why not build a huge military base there?
Why not call the occupied part an "independent democratic country"?
And why not think about how long time this "independent democratic country" will exist without foreign military support?

No, you are not responsible for Kosovo. Absolutely not.

You finally admit it!
And you yourself chose to be Kosovo's independence biggest supporter(after maybe Albania).
