I'm curious why did they set fire to US embassy?

[Agora]

well, if you remember bombing of Serbia during Clinton time, Bondstill military base built in Kosovo (largest since Vietnam war) and support of KLA it's easier to find out why...

I'm curious why did they set fire to US embassy?
Because Kosovo declared its independence a few days ago, and the United States government supported it, which I guess...upset some Serbs.

Also, I hear that Kosovo holds a religious importance to Orthodox Christians in the area? :confused:

[rpfreedom08]

Yeah I'm a newb to this as well. Why does the US Government support kosovos decleration of independence? This must mean more coruption, more greed, more voter fraud etc... if America supports it.

[ThinkDifferent]

This is a bit of a sticky situation that the U.S. (that's you and me...) seems to have stamped their approval on way too quickly.

Having a president with a non-influence mentality on world politics would be nice. If only someone was running for president with that opinion...I'll go check CNN to make sure...Nope.

These are fruits of America's foreign policies....

U.S. stance on Kosovo is against intl. law
- Washington's insistence on granting Kosovo independence is at odds with international law and could provoke separatist tendencies throughout the world, a Russian senator said on Thursday.

The UK, Belgian, Croatian and Turkish missions were also attacked.
The violence followed a peaceful rally earlier by at least 150,000 people outside the main parliament building.

Where's Rudy when we need him!!! Let's send Rudy over there, he'll take care of the crisis! ;)

Supposedly Kosovo has the largest concentration of valuable minerals in eastern Europe. Things like zinc, chrome, etc. So as usual, our government and most of the EU leadership have dollar signs in their eyes.

Thank you, Derdy. This is pretty good article.


Across this last weekend, the Western propaganda machine was working overtime, celebrating the latest NATO miracle: the transformation of Serbian Kosovo into Albanian Kosova. A shameless land grab by the United States, which used the Kosovo problem to install an enormous military base (Camp Bondsteel) on other people's strategically located land, is transformed.....

Because they found out women where in there voting?

The interesting part is that the areas of Kosovo which have a Serb majority are mineral rich (http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/0221/p07s01-woeu.html?page=2). Definitely a flash-point in the making.

[heath.whiteaker]

when I was in Kosovo before it was pretty tough... I hope it doesn't get back to that point.

Are you happy what nato did to Serbia:mad:

I wonder how will some other nation feel if they are bombed for 78 days.
