#1 Hitchens is way off base. Kosovo was a Tito stronghold. What sickens me is Muslim intolerance of the presence of Christians and Jews in the Middle East, while they insist on creating Euro states for Ottoman spawn. I trust Serbs more than I trust Muslims.

I seem to recall a certain UN resolution that ended NATO's 1999 campaign. The document recognized Serbian sovereignty over Kosovo.

#3 Albanian's are mmajority in Kosovo (Sebia's historical heartland) due to:

1) Expropriations during Ottoman occupation when
thanks to the unfairness of shariah and Ottoman courts Muslims stole teh lands from the Christains
who had no choice but to migrate to mainland Serbia.

2) Genocide during the Nazi occupation.

3) The silent ethnic purification just after Tito's death where Serrbs where routinely arsoned or raped.

Anyone wonders that the Serbs at one point decided to push backa dn that they are unhappy wbout NATO rewarding centuries of constant agression?

#5 But then, I also favor the return of English lands on the continent illegally stolen by the Capets.

I were you I wuld claim all of France: in the Hundred Years War, the right was with England: the
Salic Law was artificially applied to the throne of France (1) by the French nobility who feared an
English king would hold them much tighter and
would pay less respect to their feudal privileges
than what they were used to. Tha Valois "ran" on
an agenda of preserving the feudal system.

(1) The Francs of France descended from the Ripuarian Francs not from the Salians and the
Ripurians had no rule against banning women from
the throne.
