>> Kosovo--- Need I really continue on here? <<
No, because you obviously don?t know anything about it.
>> The Serbs were invading,... <<
The Serbs weren?t invading but defending its own land. The holly land. This is where first South Slav settlers set their first settlements back in IX century. The only place on Earth that has older Christian Eastern Orthodox churches than Kosovo is Halkidiki (spelling...), Greece.
This was Serb land for centuries. In 1392 Turks invaded the Balkans. That year The Battle on Kosovo happened. South Slavs were outnumbered and the Turks occupied the most of the Balkans.
It lasted for more than 4 centuries. Some of the Asian tribes arrived and stayed. Most of them were concentrated in the area were Albania is now.
Some Slav inhabitants were not strong enough to take the Turk oppression and they converted to Islam. Those are ancestors of Bosnian Muslims.
Kosovo and Metohija in 20th century: Before World War I, 90% of population were Serbs. During that war, Serbia lost 30% of its population, so the new ratio became 75:25. After the
World War II and another 1.5 million of lost Serbian lives, the new ratio was 60:40.
After the war, Albania became a monstrous communist cage, worse than anything has been seen in eastern communist block. New state of the South Slavs, socialistic federal Yugoslavia, has been accepting Albanian refugees from Albania. Newcomers mainly populated Kosovo and Metohija and Western Macedonia.
This, combined with Albanian demographic explosion turned Kosovo and Western Macedonia into what you all have been ignorantly presented by CNN and BBC: to a small piece of land somewhere on Balkans, populated by innocent muslims fighting for their basic civil rights.
The truth is that Albanians from Kosovo enjoyed the same civil rights as all others, they just have not been allowed to proclaim their own state - which they started to ask for as soon as they outnumbered Slav population, in early 1960s.
>> 3 million people begin running for their very lives to the nearest border, and they cry to the world "Help!! HELP US!! We are being oppressed!! <<
There were around 2 million people on Kosovo in 1991. Around 1.7 million Albanians, 200,000 Serbs and 100,000 Turks, Macedonians, Croatians, Bosnians etc.
Oh, yes - they cried for help. For help to build the monstrous semi-state modern Europe has ever seen. Drugs, arms, slavery... all the worst kinds of crime tripled since 1999 and are happily exported to the European Union and ? say cheese ? USA and Canada.
>> Our wives and daughters are being raped, our people are being slaughtered!! Help USSSS!!!" <<
That?s right, that?s what they said. Cry babies.
I remember the marsh of Albanians through the streets of Munich back in 1998. I remember 15 years old kids yelling - ?We will kill them all! Long live great Albania?.
[Great Albania, by the way, is supposed to spread from South Serbia (including big Serbian city of Nis through Macedonia (including the capital city Skopje) to Aegean Sea (including 1.5 million people large glorious Greek city Thessalonika). They are deadly serious about this and you can see the maps in every primary school on Kosovo)]
And then what? ?Help us?? Well, don?t fuck with Serbs. Don?t fuck with a war hardened army with military tradition older than first word written in Albanian.
Last week, at the trial in Hague, some ?witness? is swearing that he saw Serb jets bombing a refugee convoy. Then his was informed that those were NATO planes and that it was mistake confirmed by NATO officials themselves. ?No, those were Serb planes, I?m 100% sure?.
The other ?witness? witnessed that Serbs slaughtered the whole family in some village. Then Milosevic?s lawyers founded the same dead family happily enjoying the hospitality of Sweden.
Show me the proofs, show me the links on the web, show me articles about mass murders.
As war started Albanians just flew away on their own. They had no serious loses.
>> and yes good people of the world, that's right.... the US-of-of-fucking-A, along with UN and CANADIAN forces go in and again kick ass for the good of humanity. <<
UN has never approved what NATO has done there. By the way, nice allies you?ve got, CANADIANS
Kick ass? In 78 days Serbs lost 1000 soldiers and 13 tanks. Guerilla forces where completely wiped out. Same for raging hordes from Albania that dared to step in. Real NATO looses yet have to be revealed.
Milosevic was a dictator and deserves to be in prison indeed (not in a foreign prison, though) but defending Kosovo makes him a hero. The reason that GLORIOUS Serbian Army left Kosovo were seriously growing damages inflicted on industrial and civil facilites by bombings within the rest of the country.
>> Thousands of Canadians and Americans pitch in food, blankets and raw goods to send over to those people <<
That?s nice. They?re sending you some good heroin in return ;) Macedonian Slavs helped them out a lot too. They?re paying them back by preparing new war (for freedom) in western Macedonia.
Hey, did you know, Serbs had a friends to help them out too. Ask my crazy
and brave cousin ?Tex Viller?, he?s a freaking war veteran. On March 19, 1991, he left his cozy apartment in center of Berlin and came over to Serbia to fight for the homeland of his grandparents. He?ll confirm that Serb Army had volunteers from all over the world.
>> and we took in several thousand refugees as new citizens here as well. <<
Good! Keep up the good work!
