I Stand With Serbia

Ser-bi-a! Ser-bi-a! Ser-bi-a! Ser-bi-a!

In the current crisis caused by the unilateral declaration of independence by the Kosovar Albanians, I stand with Serbia. I don't do this because the Serbs are more innocent than anyone else in the Balkans; they are not. The Serbs have committed their share of atrocities, as have ALL the Balkan peoples, although media coverage of the Bosnian and Kosovar wars in the '90's made it appear that the Serbs were the only aggressors. I stand with Serbia because she was dealt a gross injustice by the international community. I stand with Serbia because a hole was torn in her national soul to, I believe, appease resurgent Islam.

Please understand this. Kosovo isn't some meaningless piece of land Serbia acquired recently in its history. No, Kosovo is the heart and soul of Serbia; it is Serbia's Jerusalem. To rip Kosovo from Serbia in the name of some sort of ethnic justice is absurd and criminal. If the ethnic Albanians in Kosovo felt persecuted by the Serbs they could've just returned to their own country, Albania.

Indeed, returning the Kosovar Albanians to Albania would've been the truly just solution to the ethnic unrest in Kosovo. Had they wanted to, the Western powers could've made that solution a reality. They could've forced Albania and the Kosovars to accept a humane repatriation plan. To sweeten the deal a generous economic aid package could've been given to Albania to help it absorb the refugees. An aid package could've been given to Serbia too, to help it through any economic dislocation caused by the exit of hundreds of thousands of people from its territory. The main loser in this plan would've been Albania's Christian minority which would've been made smaller by the influx of the predominately Muslim Kosovars. That would've been a relatively small price to pay, though, to prevent the establishment of a second Muslim state in Europe.

Alas, the Western powers didn't have the balls to propose let alone enforce such a plan. They found it easier to tear Serbia asunder in order to benefit Muslims who, no doubt, will prove utterly ungrateful in the end. I hope and pray that Serbia will soon be strong enough to retake Kosovo, by force if necessary. Forcibly expelling, as opposed to peacefully repatriating, the Kosovar Albanians may be necessary for the Serbs to keep control of their ancestral heartland. That's not a pretty thought but it would be the ultimate result of the Kosovars trying to create Greater Albania on Serbian land. It would be preferable if it didn't come to that but if history unfolds that way I want the world to know I stand with Serbia!
