A. Americans are always with side of illigal immigrants and against the "indians". Desecrating the Serbian religious sites it is well known to americans who for instance they tolerated what happened to the museum in Bagdad with 10.000 years exhibits. Aigain there is a subccouncious reason, because they are a people with insgnificant history. Symbols are very powerful. They show to whom Kossovo belonged, they give a reason for intervention from Russia and the selling of icons is a good besiness {"Christi" italian ad hoc TV stations for selling these products of theft F.e. gives a lot of money to the terrorist and drug delears UCK. B. They do the same in Greece. Who have one and a half milllion Albanians {illigal immigrants}. The do it especially in the North Western Part of Greece "Tsamouria" which they claim it is theirs. This claim is publisied in American, Albanian and "Israeli" sites. According to the german periodical Spiegel UCK {Kossovo} has altered its name to UCC {Tsamouria}. I have this article. There is even on my houses walls grafiti for this claim with the sign ..escargot{ in French}. This {the extention of Kossovo to Greece} will be easily effected in the near future with 8 cheldreen in the Albanian family and one or two in the Greek family.

Story of Kosovo is a very long and complicated one but it's not the one that you are reading in your daily news for the very simple reason that they don't want you to know the truth and luckily for them people in Western Europe know very little about this region of Serbia. When I say THEY or THEM then I think of people who are in total control of our media,people who are working with the western goverments very closely and by writing lies about the world affairs they'll be able to control their own population very easily.Same happened with the war in Yugoslavia, so many lies were told about this conflict that it was very hard to establish what was true facts and what not. I fully agree with my Greek friend Aimillos and I understand his concerns about Greece because the time will come when Albanians population grow in numbers they will start causing problems and possibly declare independence of certain areas of Greece where they are a majority and don't forget they are the only people in Europe with the surplus of babies.Looting in Kosovo has been going on for years now and not many people are raising their voices and try to stop it,maybe Italy up to a point,at least Italians do respect historical monuments,churches and very old Serbian cemeteries but sadly nobody else.So, how can we expect Americans to respect our history,Europe means nothing to them or the whole world as a matter of fact because we are talking about people without a history or any other values worth of mention.When you see what they did to Iraq and Afganistan and now possibly to Pakistan and Iran then you must be very concerned of what is coming to us in near future.I hope I am wrong but I think that we've reached the point of no return,there are too many evil but very powerfull people in the world today and somehow I just don't see the way out of this situation.The future doesn't look very bright.My only hope is a strong Russia and China, they might be able to balance the power in the world because I am sure that most of the world population is sick and tired of the arrogant and stupid Americans.Let's try to be a bit more optimistic....

Serbia has been treated very badly by the West, but has itself at least partly to blame for having allowed such bastards as Milosevic and Mladic to lead their nation to disaster. If the Albanian people in Kosovo had been treated with more respect and allowed to keep their autonomous status within Serbia, then NATO would not have had the excuse to attack Serbia. The desecration of holy places is always a crime and the people in Western countries should be made more aware of it. As a student in the 1970s travelling around the old Yugoslavia, I was amazed by the amount of history in that country, and it makes me very sad if it is now being destroyed. We should remember that in Afghanistan, the comminist government between 1979-1989 respected and looked after the nation's historical treasures. After Soviet withdrawal, the USA backed warlords ransacked the country and historical items were taken abroad to be sold to private collectors. I think that Afghanistan's best days were under the Soviet occupation, despite its faults.
