Divide and rule
Feb. 19th, 2008 11:32 pmWelcome to the world, proclaimed or unproclaimed, recognized or not, to America's 51st state! It's (semi-?)official now.
I mean, just look at their (proposed) flag.

In a uniting Europe, countries still get split, where the foreign interests of the Big Forces require it. Now, can we expect an independent Kurdistan, Euskara, Québec, Ulster, Wales, Scotland, etc? I'm especially amused regarding the latter three. After all, UK was one of the first to hurry and recognize the new country, contrary to all established international rules, which the freedom-loving countries so eagerly stand for. If we follow the same logic, there should be a new country in south-eastern Turkey soon - but you bet there won't be. Because it contradicts "our interests around the world" (whatever that means). Yes, politics is an ugly thing. And double standard has ceased annoying me a long time ago. Now it only amuses me.
Now, as far as Kosovo's future is concerned... the flag says it all.
