Will you be typing every post as if it's the longest movie title in the world, then?

Quick question for anyone,

Why is it that everytime somthing bad happens, or things don't work out to "ONES" countries favor, they attack a U.S. ambasy??
I'm not joking here!!...... If the U.S. would have not supported Kosovo, the people of Kosovo would have attacked the U.S. ambasy, but instead, the U.S. supported it, and it still gets attacked!
Also, I have another question........"Why do other countries have such violent protests, while when other countries do somethings that the U.S. doesn't approve, of end up non-violent here in the U.S.?"
I guess I see it as a stand point for the U.S. that, "Your damned if you do, and your damned if you don't!"

Dale in his wisdom answered this question some time ago. Why do so many people attack the United States of America? Because it is safe to do so.

I find this as a "anger repressed" and they just loose it. We see it here in the USA also just not as often. Ours are not to often because we have other ways to fight (court system)and when they do take place it is brought under control quickly.

I also feel in the USA we do not live close to another area that has taken our loved ones lives. Look at what they are protesting and then the history behind it. Serbs are going to have to get used to change and when it's part of your history it can be difficult.

Your right about the damned part, reguardless of the side, one is not happy.

This is a very sad state of affairs.

They are speaking out against the Americans because we somewhat publically supported the independance of kosovo. While I don't appriciate the way they choose to do so and honestly tend to believe it was a few extremist that took a large demonstration downhill into a riot, the support of kosovo strikes me as a bad idea because another islamic enclave in eastern europe is needed obviously.

All the words in the original post were capital letters. It seems to be a product of the electronic transmission that all the letters in the message originally being printed in capitals end up with all words starting with a capital. Go figure! It would be a busy marquee indeed! "Gone With the Wind".

If you show fear, they will turn on you.

Some people here prefer to discuss idiot questions like "why the rioters attack US embassy", meanwhile the answer is obvious for every normal, sane and logically-thinking man.
Because the USA headed the aggression against Yugoslavia in 1999, because the US planes bombed Belgrade and all Serbia, because the US tanks came into Kosovo, because the US biggest military base was founded there, because the USA encouraged Albanians during these years and because the USA actuated their so-called "independence".
Maybe next the USA will support Basques in Spain, the Irish in Britain, the muslims and Corsicans in France. And then these people will be wondering - why the rioters attack US embassies in Madrid, London, Paris?.. Oh, it's so strange - we are so kind, we're bringing democracy and freedom, why those strange and silly rioters attack US embassy?.. Absolutely not understandable!
By the way, when are you going to free Basques, Paris muslims and Corsicans?

It's 2008. Learn to voice your issues without killing yourself. Serbian's want to go fight in the street of Kosovo, what does this tell you? Russia could do some good and save alot of lifes by calming the Serbs and making them understand their land is still there, there ancestors graves are there, if they want to protest, fine, do it without violence. In other words calm them down vs. adding fuel to the fire.

Well...............Like I stated before........"If" the U.S. wouldn't have done anything, and not supported Kosovo's independence, the U.S. embasy in Kosovo would probably been attacked!!! But!!! Since the U.S. did support Kosovo, the embasy in Serbia was attacked!! "Like I said.............!!! the U.S. is going to lose no matter what!! Your damned if you do, and your damed if you don't!!
By the way!!!..........Wasn't the Serbs that tried to ethnically clean the population in Kosovo, that got the U.S. into the war in the first place? I think I do remember the Serbs in their mass genocide attempts!

I don't know!!! maybe it was just the media brainwashing me!!???

No. The mass expulsion happened AFTER we attack. It was a case of "if they are going to do the time, they might as well do the crime." The US attacked on the failure of Milosevic letting in NATO peacekeepers into Kosovo.

And you don't know Croat and ethnic Albanian mass crimes.

Yes.

OoE,

Thanks for clearing the last of my statement up for me. Like I stated, the media likes to explaine things in a wrong manner. I have, and never will trust the media.
