Jimmy the Squid:
I'm just pissed because we're going to have to deal with the 2nd gen refugees getting all up in arms about it. You know, the ones who have never been to Serbia or Kosovo and who couldn't point to it on a map having gang wars over it. Good thing I don't live in the suburbs anymore.

--- Quote from: The International Herald Tribune ---A mob of 300 Serbs wielding clubs and tools gathered on a road near this small village of ethnic Albanians in northern Kosovo, prompting NATO to send armored vehicles and tanks to head them off.
Earlier, ethnic Albanian police officers, part of Kosovo's multiethnic police force, were forced out of the neighboring Serb village, where they were patrolling with fellow Serbs. It was the latest sign that Serbs in Kosovo, incensed by the declaration of independence, are trying to assert control over the northern part of Kosovo, the majority of whose residents are ethnic Serbs.

It's getting worse.
As soon as one Albanian or one Serb is killed, there's NOTHING that's going to stop them from killing each other off. And 16,000 NATO peacekeeping troops is nothing compared to 7 million Albanians (spread throughout the Balkans) fighting another 8 million Serbs. Sheer numbers isn't everything, either, because they're CLEARLY going to all be pissed off.

"KILL ALBANIANS"?

--- Quote from: Storm Rider on 19 Feb 2008, 15:30 ---I highly doubt a Cold War would start over the Serbians declaring independence. The current global economic marketplace makes that sort of thing extremely unlikely.

Well, there are much larger tensions brewing. This incident could theoretically spark those tensions but it would be little more than a catalyst. Besides, it's probably not presumptuous to say that if a new Cold War started it would be fought in the stock markets.
