Another Balkans battle? 

Another Balkans battle? - - The Washington Times, America’s Newspaper: “Unfortunately, the United States and leading European states chose to insist on full independence. Kosovo would be a multi-ethnic showcase. Serbia would be bought off with EU membership. Russia would be ignored. There would be negotiation, but only as a pretense.”

“The best hope to avert a new, and possibly violent, breakdown in the Balkans is for both Washington and Brussels to tell Pristina “no” on independence. But they must do so quickly.”

When the West tries to fix a civil war by taking sides and forcing their own terms for peace they usually make things worse in the long term. This is not going to be an exception. The real tragic thing is that the military of the US and NATO always reap the consequences of stupid foreign policy decisions of their politicians. As if we do not have enough conflict we now will help stir up another one.
