Why does U.S. support Kosovo terrorists?
Will someone please explain to me why we are celebrating Kosovo's independence? True enough, "secession" plucks many a mind string down here in North Carolina, but something is terribly amiss with this one.
Kosovo was a province of Serbia (former Yugoslavia) in which the Muslims are the majority and the Christians the minority. The "ethnic Albanians" of Kosovo resorted to terrorism against their Christian neighbors, I suppose, because Allah told them they needed to live under Sharia law.
The slaughtering of Kosovo's Christians triggered the Serbian central government's intercession to put down the terrorism. France and NATO entered the fray on the side of the Kosovo Muslims, and the United States joined them. As a result, we have another Muslim state … part of the greater global caliphate.
Little matter that the aging queen of Political Correctness, Christiane Amanpour of CNN, and the rest of the media still insist on calling those Muslim terrorists in Kosovo "ethnic Albanians." It does not alter the facts.
What we have is another Muslim state suppressing its Christian minority. Pray tell how we ended up on its side?

The United States and NATO attacked Serbians in Kosovo because of atrocities perpetrated by Christian Serbians against Kosovo Muslims. These atrocities followed a series of injustices against Kosovo Muslims, and included "ethnic cleansing", mass murder of civilians buried in mass graves, and the systematic rape of Muslim women. The Serbian President and top military commanders were indicted for war crimes. Although atrocities occurred on both sides, the magnitude of the Serbian atrocities was massive.
The intervention by NATO nations was to prevent genocide against the Kosovo Muslims, without consideration of the religion of the victims, the religion of the oppressors, and unlike the war in Iraq, was not waged for the prospect of oil or other benefits.
Maybe this will explain why the United States and other western nations support the independence of Kosovo. You may consider this "political correctness", but "it does not alter the facts."
