what the FUCK is up with kosovo???
Offline well, more like what the fuck is up with the USA? (as if that isn't a question most people ask every couple of hours.) you know, i'm usually pretty good at pinpointing the empire's hidden agenda, but the government's got me on this one. i know it doesn't have anything to do with the kosovars' "right to liberty" or some such bullshit, since we do almost nothing for the kurds, basques, palestinians, etc.
recognizing an independent kosovo? what does that solve? and how is it any of the US's fucking business to begin with???? now our numbnuts stunt is about to sweep milosevic's supporters back into power. whenever a powerful nation meddles with the nationalist agendas of other nations or would-be nations, they create a breeding ground for fascism.
i wonder if it's a case of sheer embarassment: our nation was founded by separatists and so we must support separatists every now and then to save face. a similar thing happened with the vietnamese struggle against the french. ho chi minh was clever enough to word the vietnamese declaration of independence very similarly to our own. thus we were sort of shamed into supporting them though we really didn't want to and we only did it with words.

the biggest us military base in the world outside the USA sitting astride a natural gas pipe line is the answer. we are trying to bypass Russia's gas pipeline. google "camp bondsteel"
without doing any research what so ever, i can say that... its feasible ^_^
What Would Kharn Do?
well, i'll tell you what's NOT feasible: the empire is doing it because they believe in the kosivars' "right" to an independent state.
meanwhile, the tibetans, kurds, basques, etc. are waiting in line...
