They think they just better stay on a safe side, because by now even children know who is good and who is bad in Kosovo. But what they haven't noticed is that most of the Americans have already changed and nuanced their minds beyond this position. And they are ashamed and shocked with the fact that their government recognized Kosovo's self-proclaimed independence.

It seems that when the UN backs their "war on terror" in Afghanistan, it is "She who must be obeyed", but when they want to support jihadist terrorism, the UN is simply to be ignored! And of course, it is important to remember that the Kosovar jihadists would be in no position to declare "independence" if it were not for the terror campaign against the Serb people carried out by Bill Clinton and his minions in NATO in 1999. This putative declaration of "independence" violates international law, but so did the US/NATO actions in 1999 as does the continued illegal occupation of sovereign Serbian territory by NATO troops. It also violates the UN Charter which guarantees the territorial integrity of member States and it violates, specifically, Security Council Resolution 1244 of 10 June 1999. As I have pointed out many times before, on my blog, in fora in which I participate and in person to whomever would listen, Kosovo is the heartland of Serbia. It was in Kosovo that the Serbian Nation was founded, in Kosovo that the Serbian Church took root and it was in Kosovo that the flower of Serbian chivalry was slaughtered, dying in defence of the West against the Turkish hordes. Now as the Munich of Europe approaches and the dictators of the EU prepare to throw open the gates of Europe to the jihad, the Kosovars see their chance to tear the heart out of Serbia and they are being aided, abetted, helped and protected by two faced hypocrites in Washington and other Western capitals who claim to be fighting terror.
