    In Russia there are autonomous republics where people profess Islam like in the Tatar Autonomous Republic,or Buddhism like the Buryat Autonomous Republic. There are altogether 20 autonomous republics in Russia and all the people live in peace.
    Chechnya has been part of Russia for about 200 years and unfortunately there have been separatists who wanted Chechnya's independence for what sake? To create the problems in the heart of the Russia Caucasus where all other 30 Caucuses islamic people are happy? The truth is that the most Chechen population did not want the war. Separatism always is started by the individuals who pursue their personal gains, personal enrichment, political power, etc.

    Kosovo will never bee recognized by the UN and by the reasonable world community. The Albanians in Kosovo can (based on the world historic experience) happily have their own autonomy which they have always had. The Albanians can prosper and enjoy freedoms, but without participation of those separatists who want to have personal gains. The fact that the USA and some European countries
    declared their support for Kosovo's independence does not matter at alland does nothave any weight.
    The LAW MATTERS AND MAKES HISTORY. Where there was no law there were wars and losses. The Law, the UN and Serbia supported by the integrity of its Consitution, WILL NEVER recognize Kosovo together with those countries who support peace and integrity of the world community.

    It is useless to teach anything to the people stuck in their really small worlds. I lived in Russia until was in my late twenties and now I am in my late forties. I have not only lots of business partners and friends in Russia (including the Urals and Siberia), but also relatives. The whole world will follow Russian the example of Russian economic, political etc, development. It is the strongest economy in the world now. China is by far behind.

    ROMANS: 19Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place
    unto wrath; for it is written: "Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,saith
    the Lord." (King James version)

    ROMANS 19: Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's
    wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay,"[b]says
    the Lord. (New International Version)

    Question - if many of you think America is a "propagandist" country with "propaganda news" that pushes "imperialistic" agendas, then why are you all here, reading these "propagandist" news articles and posting comments on this "imperialistic" news site???????? Just curious........

    • Posted By: alba.destiny @ 02/22/2008 5:52:26 PM

      Dont be surprised, there is saying in Albanian ??? If you threw the brad to the Serb he will return it with the rocks???. By Albanian tradition if you are enemy and come to my home I must help you because you came to my home, but next time I see you out of my home you still my enemy. Serbs misused these Albanian traditions in the past, they came to Albanian houses and asked for overnight sleep as lost walkers in the dark, and then they killed all members of that family including children and woman. There is another saying ???if you have a Serb for overnight sleep have your ax under pillow??? . You have no idea who the Serbs are, we Albanians did forgive them so many times for what they did to us for centuries and as soon as they got little power they became whiled again. I want them to enter EU at least there will be no more but I dont think they will stay to long in EU because the world will see that they dont belong in there. They are like bad dogs, if they are in the group and get someone weak then they would make pieces of him, and if they are alone, one to one, then they are so polite and nice. As I said they are Russian gypsies. If Russian man is whiled, even they say for their self how arrogant they are, then what could be of Russian gypsies (Serbs). Rumania is gypsy country too, so do you see how they are supporting Serbs? There is so much to be read to know the history of Balkan but I prefer everyone, never read anything written by Albanian, Serb or Russian historians.
      Please, read:
      The Albanians
      An Ethnic History from Prehistoric Times to the Present
      By EDWIN E. JACQUES.
      It is hard to find it because as soon as it came out Serbian government bought almost every issue. I believe it can be ordered.
      Thank you for not taking sides in this historic time for both Albanians and Serbs.

    BRAVO Newsweek!!! You got a special thank you by Serbia for printing such propaganda ... a torched American flag and embassy. I fully believe in free press and writers expressing their opinions, but not when they are written as if they were facts. Your Serbian writer has an obligation to be FAIR and IMPARTIAL when reporting news. If your writers are qualified to make statements to whether a nation can declare independence or not, I wonder why they fall short of giving any alternatives to the situation. Kosova???s situation has been such since the 90???s, where were your writers during the negotiations between Albanians and Serbs? Surely their EXPERTIES would have been very useful during those times. : /
    Kosovas declaration of independence was the will of the people. And since it is our human right to be free, Kosovars did just what any decent man would expect them to do???BE FREE!!! Serbia has failed to allow Albanians to represent themselves for the most part of the century. Moreover, they have repeatedly terrorized Kosovars during that same period. So even if the current regime in Serbia has changed, their feelings towards Albanians has not. And it has been proven so in the past couple of days.
    Almost all western nations have accepted Kosovas independence. Just because certain other countries have problems of their own, does not make it right for Kosovars to struggle under barbaric rule and neither does Vladimir Putin???s Napoleon complex. If Serbia wants to continue their rhetoric, act violent and feel superior to any other nation in the region, they can continue so without Kosova. Those ???hooligans??? that are now burning our embassies and flags should have protested during the time their government was systematically slaughtering people and burning ???their heartland??? during the 90???s. Kosova deserved nothing less than full independence and the free world is behind them!!!

    Keep your comments for the lowbrows! We visit Russia almost annually. Last year we went on business trips to Moscow, St.Petersburg, Novgorod and Sochi . Russia's GNP grows by about 10% annually. Russia is not only the biggest, but the richest country in the world. It uses its incredible resources very wisely now. Its success is amazing! The standard of living grows by 16% annually!!! The educational establishments, schools, universities, are very impressive! When you work on the streets of Moscow,st.Petesrburg, Novgorod, Sochi (that offers the best entertainment in Europe besides the beauty of the city its environs and the beautiful beaches!!!. We had a chance to enjoy our free time there!) you see lots ofhappy gaces. The services in the restaurants,hotels surpassed that of Europe and the USA. We enjoyed shopping when we had free time. The business people and educators we met impressed us with their efficiency and smiles. Every year we go to Russia we see its incredible success in all spheres of life: business,education, services etc. Russians have all the freedoms they need: freedom of speech etc. as a matter of fact we were very impressed with the freedoms there. Honesty is based on the fact the Putin is an Orthodox Christian and is interested in his people's happiness. All the coverage of Russia in the USA is biased. It is clear that the SA is not interested in seeing a strong friend in Russia and is losing its friendship which may be of great benefits to the USA. Unlike the USA which is so good at losing friendships Japan is investing advantageously in Russia. It is building a Toyota plant in St.Petersburg and surely the USA has already lost the European market for its cars because Toyota plant in St.Peter burg will be the main supplier of Japanese cars in all Europe.

    • Posted By: JJJJJ @ 02/22/2008 5:14:10 PM

      "Russians have all the freedoms they need" --- and who decides what the Russian people need? You? Putin?

      Toyota, Honda and Nissan all build cars in America for Americans to drive. So what if Russia got its first Japanese automaker to build a plant in Russia - I guess it's a good first step for an emerging capitalistic economy.

      It's good to hear that you think Russia is doing so well. I am happy for the Russian people - they have had it bad for so long under Communism. That does not mean; however, that it is the "richest" country on the planet. The U.S still holds that title and will for some time. Russia will have to surpase the U.S., U.K., the E.U., India, China and Japan before it is number one.

    • Posted By: alba.destiny @ 02/22/2008 4:52:36 PM

      I just would like to say if you so happy with Russia go and teach history in Russia, but first of all you need to insure your organs because they may take them from you and sell them as soon as you get there. If you kind of sick, then going to Russian is your good choice, in middle of the street you can find people without organs and if something left that you need you can take it. I think Putin got something for him self but I am not sure was it cows brain or head. Do you know how Russians make living? By going to school and learning to use computer they stealing peoples money around the world which is called Internet crime. Most of Russians in USA are in welfare and use peoples tax money while sometimes go to Russia and kill for the money, then they come back in USA and spend that money. I heard that so many Russians in USA use benefit cards to purchase food in USA and dress and drive very expensive cars, how is that possible? Dont be stupid we know who and what Russians and Russia is. Serbs are not different either. I guess if you like so much Russia then you are wasting time in USA, keep in mind that in Russia husband is happy that his wife has a job as prostitute, at least they have income to eat. If you do little search you will see that most of the prostitutes of the world make up Slavic woman even underage. Russia is criminal country and it is important to keep it isolated from the rest of the world, all this it matters because it possesses a vast nuclear arsenal, and knows how to build weapons of mass destruction. In addition, Russia borders on regions of great strategic interest to the United States: Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia. Kosova was the gap that would allow Russia to endanger Europe so this was smart move for the Europe and USA to recognize Kosovas independence and make Kosovars number one ally in Balkan, Serbs can never be ally of USA or Europe they are Slavic and will stay strong ally of Russia , world knows all this. I really don???t fill in talking but I have answer for everything you write so just get over with Kosovas independence and have a nice life. Third world war can start and USA and Europe will not let Kosova to Serbs, period.

    Read history of Kosovo that I posted yesterday. I am a historian and taught world history in the US for many years.Kosovo has always been part of Serbia and Serbian + Kosovo was part of Byzantium before.

    • Posted By: alba.destiny @ 02/22/2008 3:46:41 PM

      If you are Serb historian and taught world history in USA then that???s university for dummies or we call them special AD or disabled. Good for you because you taught history in USA but unfortunately they will not be able to remember anything you taught them, I guess that is good too. Don???t you see that all you wrote it is a lie? You are typical Serb which lies and believe in his own lie.

    Albanians had the greatest rights and privileges in Serbia for decades, no other minority in the world had anything similar. And they were a minority. That???s way many Albanians moved from prehistoric and underdeveloped Albania to Kosovo. For decades, they slowly and quietly spread like a disease.
    United Europe and the rest of the world are still unaware of what they did. I can hardly wait for the next 10-15 years. Who wants to deal with the lazy, tricky, dull, manipulative, ludicrous and retarded people like Albanians? Just wait and see: when Albanians move into your country, and start working on the only thing they know: crime and baby-making in order to be more of them. Then, the rest of the world will understand.
    For now, I wish they totally get land-locked and closed in their ???new artificial country???. I???m just wandering who are they going to survive without Serbia? Without any skills and brains?

    • Posted By: alba.destiny @ 02/22/2008 3:14:01 PM

      Just for your knowledge this is the true face of Albanian and Serb, which the world already knows, but it seems many Serbs dont. Serbs came from Carpaths Russian in 7th century in Balkan Peninsula (Serbian history in Balkan starts from Serbian kingdom of 11 or 12 century before that they were thiefs destroying civilization of the Illyrians since 7th century). As per their customs you can see that they were soldiers in Russia and most of their life they were spending fighting. Since there were so cold, when some soldiers were killed the others to keep warm used to drink their blood (as you know blood is hot as soon as something dies). If you look so many videos and pictures of recent war in Balkan, you can see that most of killings done by Serbs were massacres using knife and dismembering parts or human by knife. Serbs enjoy using knife in killing their enemy because they are cannibal and have no mercy. Thanks to USA, Europe and world for saving Albanians from this whiled animals. We will do everything possible to help you and not let the Serbs and Russians (which are the same) enter Europe if they do it will be end of the world.

    This article is ridiculous. To say that Independent Kosovot "will almost certainly be is a failed state" sounds more Serb-siding than realistic. The United States would not put in so much effort if they are betting on a loss! Kosovo deserves this. This should have been done a very long time ago, and with God's help we will prevail!

      Every empire has crumbled. The Roman, the Ottomman . . . The American Empire is no different. You do not hear anybody wanting independence not because we have it so good here in the States. Not at all. It is because the U.S. shuts-up the opposition quickly . . . do you remember Waco and David Koresh? How easily we forget. And look now. Turn on the news. The U.S. is building a wall on their Southern Border!!!! This is to STOP the reality of an Independent Southern State! Don't be blind people. A country should be given the right to independence, not a state. Kosovo is a state of Serbia. International laws are being broken. Wake up people. Turkey is having the same problem. The Kurds want independence in Turkey. There response was to invade Nothern Iraq and kill Kurds (and they strategically chose to do it the day after the Riots in Belgrade against the U.S. Embassy). The world events are connected. Open your eyes people. You cannot give everyone a form of "Independence" based on population. What's next Quebec in Canada? More bits and pieces in Russia. Super Powers like the U.S. want other countries to be "independent" or what I like to call "divide". History repeats itself. Divide and conquer. While the U.S. increases it's border strength it will help "more countries become independent". Oh, how blind of a people we have become. This will not cause peace in the Balkans. This is the beginning of something greater. Heaven help us all.

    YEAH!!!! Kosovo has finally done it and declared their independence!! Every country has the right to be an independent country with their own democratic government, freedom, liberty, and reasonable rule of law. Serbia has no right to hold on to this country for their own selfish purposes like they have been doing for years, and Russia has no right to interfere in this decision by Kosovo's parliament. This has been a long time coming for the Kosovo people, and if everybody and every country just stays out of their way and out of their business, Kosovo can make this work. Serbia needs lo learn from the hard, tough lessons of ten years ago when Slobodan Milosevic nearly destroyed both Serbia and Kosovo thru his murderous actions and hard handed dictatorship. Serbia must accept this decision and just go on and have good diplomatic relations with the Kosovo government. Now, I'm looking forward to seeing Kosovo in the Olympics as an independent country with their own flag and national anthem!

      I hope you are as happy and upbeat when the mexicans in the southwest U.S. become the majority in some of those states and dicide they want to be either independant or reunited with the country of Mexico, after all this lands were taken away from them by the U.S., and as you point out, every people has the right to became independent with their own democratic government, freedoms, liberties and reasonable rule of law, and finaly the U.S. has no right to hold on to this lands for their own selfish purposes like they have being doing for years. Get the drift, wise up!

      • Posted By: GRAYMAR @ 02/18/2008 6:07:27 PM

        I seem to read a lot of comments about the mexicans in the southwest US. It is obvious that you know nothing about them because they all wanted to leave Mexico for the better opportunities in the US and they are very happy to be here in the US. Wake up, stop trying to make a comparison to things that have absolutely no commonality. We have no right to hold on the US lands? Excuse me, I do not see anyone saying lets break away from the US and the reason why is that we have it so good here. All who live here and have visited other countries realize that the US is a great place to live and work. The evil of Milosevic has caused this to happen, shame on the Serbs for not rising up against him like the Romanians did against Ceausescu.

    Kosovo will stay Serbian and will never get into United Nations neither in OEBS, because Albanians are wild radical Muslim people, supporting terrorism. Since 1999 more then 300 mosques were build on the Kosovo territory, almost all financially supported by Saudi Arabia.

    I recommend to all Christians as well as to all citizens of United States and European Union to buy and watch movie: ???Islam: what the West needs to know???. Here is link:

    http://www.amazon.com/Islam-What-West-Needs-Know/dp/B000PE0GQO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1203660765&sr=8-3

      This does bother me. The people full of hate are attracted to things of hate, such as hateful religions and ways of life. Hateful people will avoid the love of Jesus Christ until their heart softens.

      I think the solution is to provide love and educate. When people stop hating people will not seek things of hate and Saudi Arabia will just be wasting it money in Kosovo.

      Did you know that the Christians and Muslims are pouring resources into Albania? It's a spiritual battle to save the country. There a little churches and litlte blue mosques popping up everywhere as Albanians try to find their identity.

      My point is that if Albanians and Serbs stop hating each other than the hateful things will pass away. You see, Serbs state they are "christain", yet I see hate. True Christians would be sending resources and love into the poorer countries instead of hating them.

  • Posted By: rbarolli @ 02/22/2008 2:42:49 PM

    In my opinion the Serbs are poor looser; they do not want to accept defeat. Kosova is Albanian, it has been Albanian for over 6,000 years, Serbs came to what is now Serbia during the sixth century how do these Serbs claims that Kosova (not KOSOVO) is the cradle of their civilization. I have only one suggestion for the poor looser: It is over and the sooner you know that the better is for the World. So far as the Russians being on their side, currently Russians are dying from starvation, they are just a bunch of loud barking dogs and no thing more

  • Posted By: JJJJJ @ 02/22/2008 2:41:13 PM

    bora, thanks for reading. I do understand that the powers of Europe have been treating all in the Balkans as 2nd class citizens so the European powers could expand their imperialism. The Austro-Hungarians and Turks spat on the Balkans to expand their territories. After the great wars Greece, Italy, Turkey and Austria all fought over your lands. The U.S. and Russia interfered as well, but to a lesser degree.

    You need to see the Serbs and Albanians have much in common - both are strong survivors - you survived Turks for 400 years and Nazis and Communism - you are all a strong and determined people.

    Remember that many Albanians are Christian too, especially in the sourht and just because you are Orthodox does not mean you are a Christian. Many Orthodox people ARE Christian, but being a Christian is much more than being born a certain race - it is a belief. Also, Serbs are Catholic and Protestant.

    Albanians, Serbs and all Balkains need to remember what they share in common - they ALL fought together to fight the Turks..............and WON! It is because of the Balkan fighters that not all of Europe is Muslim. The Hugarians have Vlad Drakul, the Albanians have Skenderbeg, and the Serbs have heroes as well.

    Almost all Balkans were Christian before the Turks forced Islam on you. Remember your hertiage before the Turks!

    Look to your common history and the times you fought together - this is when the Balkans were strong.

    Don't worry about your English - at least you speak more than one language - good for you! It was nice to chat with you.

  • Posted By: bora @ 02/21/2008 7:54:44 PM

    To JJJ: Thank you JJJJJ (to many or not enough J???s? :)
    Thank you for advice and thank you for recognizing some values in what I sent.
    I am doing my best to read Gospel every day, but not only that, then to put it in everyday practice. It is not easy. Temptations are trying to pull us from the God thru Sin and laziness but who endure to the end it will be saved (sorry for bad quotations, my bible English is really bad, I have to improve it).
    Situation is much more complicated that you think and that is why we have misunderstanding here. It has to do with people???s freedom give them by God. Hasn???t been Adam created with free will. While he was obedient to God he was in unity with Him. As soon as he Satan whisper to him thru Eve to try ???apple??? (it could be anything, doesn???t matter what) he committed sin. God wanted to lead him thru spiritual advancing, but he chose shortcut, ???back door??? (I mean Satan promise him that he will bring him to the level of God thru ???back door???). That is why freedom is so important in Church. No one can force anyone to become Christian or to change from one denomination to another. God doesn???t force anyone to salvation, so why we would do that as humans? So, Serbs have very sensitive feeling for freedom and don???t like suppression.
    Again freedom. Serbs where 500 years under Ottoman empery and they preserved faith and stayed Christians despite terrible terror from Muslims to convert in Islam. After extremely heavy casualties they finally free from Turks (Ottomans) and reestablished country. Final was for freedom was 1912, but 1913 was another one with Bulgaria. Then one of the most terrible episodes in history of Serbian people WWI. Serbs lost 1/3 of total population and 1/2 of male population. Germans did terrible crimes at that time. Then WWII and again concentration camps for Serbs and Serbian children. Take a look at this web site, just quick look end pay attention to Children of Kozara:
    http://www.jasenovac-info.com/?lang=en&s=galerija
    Then 50 years of communist rule, brought by mister Churchil, destroying churches, prosecution, killing political opponents and forbidding anything that has Serb or Orthodox in the name. An finaly when communisam was crashed down West decided that doesn???t need anymore Yugoslavia, so bloody conflict started.
    Serbs are tired from trading by the West. Serbian was Ally in all wars and saved a lot of American lifes during WWII and was traded to communists before and traded in international affairs now. Also Serbs are feeling that West is suppressing just Serbs and taking sides in the conflicts.
    You should see some movies when people are saying that they are forgiving averythig. Me too. But let us have our lifes and please observe international laws. That is all.
    God bless you.

      First of all, Serbs where good ally of Turkish Ottoman Empire, that???s why Turks never forced Serbs to change religion, even allowed them to exercise their orthodox religion and not asking them to pay taxes. By help of the Serbs, Turks tried to enter Europe and were stopped by Hungarians. Hungarians were suppose to united with Albanians against the Turks , Serbs didn???t let them by betraying Albanians and telling to Sultan which way will Albanian army go and united with Hungarian ( so many Albanians were killed by Turks in this fight), that???s why so many Hungarians under King Janos Hunyady died fighting alone against Turks, even lost first war (don???t be surprised why Hungarians hate Serbs more than any other people in Balkan). Serbs have to face the truth and start looking through true history, not some lies spread by Serbian Historians for centuries. Albanians got educated so Serbian lies are not work any more. I know the Serbs regret for not doing more in stopping us not to get educate ,but nothing can be done any more. I remember when Serbs were saying, big mistake by taking weapons from Albanians and giving them pen. Anyway Serbs from Serbia don???t care that much about Kosova all they want natural sources, but they lost them forever. Kosova is much richer with natural sources then any other country in Balkan and Serbs were using this sources for decades by leaving not even 10% of all budget to Albanian kosovars (look Serbian cities and compare them with cities in Kosova, so why they didn???t build Albanian cities in Kosova same as they did theirs in Serbia if Kosova was part of Serbia, because Serbs new they will loose kosova one day all they did was ripping off Kosovas economy as much as they could, till we got our own people educated and saying enough, every one that said enough to Serbs were tortured, jailed and even killed. In school Albanians were allowed to learn about Serbian or Yugoslavian History and anything about Albanian history were prohibited. All I know is over and world now know everything. By the way Russia will never have chance to get control over Europe after kosovas independence.

        How do plan to carry out your act of terrorism?

        Possible graffiti in a McDonalds restroom? Maybe burning an America flag? Maybe spending the next 2 weeks typing threats on the Newsweek website against a country in which you have no hopes of becoming a citizen (but would give your right arm to join)...............

    to doesntmatter. to bora and few other brainwashed Serbs nationalists. All this websites and links you are posting are Serbian made (/www.srbija.sr.gov.yu) as you can see. HOW ON EARTH do you expect any of Civilised world to believe this after all the lies and propaganda Serbian government have made. You forget the fact that USA, UK, GERMANY, ITALY, FRANCE, they are all in Kosovo at present. All the findings about mass graves and crimes committed by Serbian police and army were carried by international experts.
    As for you doesntmatter. You know when you will be occupying Kosovo again? In your dreams. NOT EVEN THEN.
