re: #14 ProGunLiberal

First, I’m not siding with ms. Geller, since I’ve not proclaimed that the Serbian war criminals are in fact heroes. Quite the opposite, I think it is good and justified that these guys were arrested and put in jail. So please, stop the name calling and have a civilized debate. I never compared you to anyone, so please return the favour if you will.

However, that other guys, also guilty of war crimes get away because they threatened witnesses is absolutely despicable, and (justly) creates a lot of anger in Serbia. You’re not really helping the region by stigmatizing one group of war crimes, but letting other guys go.

Serbs were purged from their homes in Croatia, where they lived in majority, so now in Kosovo, where there is a majority of muslims/albanians/kosovarians (I throw them on one heap now, which is incorrect and goes beyond the sensitivities in that area, but I disgress), it is to purge the Serbs from a region where they have always lived, and was taken-away by the Turks and subsequently populated with Albanians.
That sounds like a raw deal to me.

Also, although the current Serb government is not optimal either, is the Kosovo government dodgy as fuck. Lots of talk about organ-trafficking, and the worst maffia in the world. Not really ‘decent’ people, far from it…

Again, I urge you to visit the region and speak to the people there, it might open your eyes a little. It’s a good thing to do. The people are incredibly friendly, and will go out of their way to be the best hosts they can. Hope you’re not a vegetarian though.
