I have a special interest in Serbia and its history, thanks to Dr. Donna Ryan at Gallaudet. Needless to say, my grade for Dr. Ryan’s Cultural Geography was excellent. In fact, my research paper on Serbia was one of best and cool assignments I ever had done in college.
And I do not recognize the independence of Kosovo.
Kosovo is part of Serbia. The United States must not recognize nor support the independence of Kosovo. It is hypocrite of us to do that. We fought the Confederates to keep the Union together. Serbia reserves the right to fight in order to keep Kosovo. Kosovo is integral to the soul of Serbia.
Imagine this: New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Delaware, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia composed of one nation to declare the independence from the United States, would you do permit that?
No. These 13 colonies are integral to the soul, history and status of the United States. Kosovo Polje is the mainstay of Serbia as whole. In 1389, Prince Lazar Hrebeljanovic (I still remember the name without checking to make sure it is right!) fought the Ottoman Turks who attempted to swallow Serbia and the rest of Europe in its ever-expanding conquests. It was the Battle of Kosovo Polje that ultimately stopped the Ottomans Turks from going far.
When Ottoman Turks conquered the area, they often snatched the male infants, children, teenagers and young adults and conscripted them into Jannisary. What is Jannisary? It is a system where all young males being brainwahsed with Islam and their loyal to Sultan — creating the standing army of the Ottoman Turks. When these boys became men, they can return home — but this time, their identity is altered. They are no longer who they are. They are Muslims, the majority of Serbia are Orthodox Christians.
Over the generations, the Muslims has settled all over the Balkan peninsula, mixed with Christians. However, the struggles began as soon as they spar with the Xians.
The Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) is composed of ethnic Albanians who illegally immigrated into Serbia in the area of Kosovo on a goal to integrate Kosovo into Greater Albania. The KLA is attempting to do the same thing to Greece, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia.
It is shame that GW Bush encouraged such a policy to wage battles against the terrorists and at the same time, supported the Kosovo Liberation Army, a terrorist/insurgents comprised of ethnic Albanians who illegally immigrated to Kosovo from Albania.
Imagine the illegal immigrants from Mexico coming in Texas and organized the Texas Liberation Army in an attempt to liberate Texas from the United States!
Same idea.
Russia is smart to stand steadfast with Serbia and I support Russia’s decision to stand with Serbia. I support Serbia. This is a terrible precedent — allowing the terrorists to organize a group to disintegrate the provinces and/or states of a nation.
Boot these ethnic Albanians back to Albania!
Cheers,
