Yeah you're right.
 
Bushes popularity in Albania has to do with convenience, with the American government supporting the ethnic Albanian - Kosovar decision to split off from Serbia proper, and declare their own new balkoscopic state they ensure a personal political goal by support of the mightiest country of Earth. President Bush gets a warm welcome, and feels that his support is present among other nation. Furthermore, the US did step in to curb Milosevic's looney ambitions at subduing yet another population into his vision of "Serbdom."

The US still seems to support Kosovar independence, now though it channels its view through the UN facade. In recent news they acknowledge that talks between the two sides has not produced much, and the "UN" draft for independence is the best solution. Either way they have up to December 10th to deliberate.

what have they been through? you have no idea what The non ororhthodox population has been through. dont try to slap any historical claim on something that has never been. The first orthodox families were moved by turks as abuffer against austria and were mostly vlach.

No, you should not pretend not to know what I am talking about. My own great-grandfather was murdered in Jasenovac (his Bosniak neighbor arrested him for the sole and "horrible crime" of being a Serb). I am not a nationalist by any means, but I will not stand for the BS either. 

Bosniaks indeed were the greatest victims of the past war and there's nothing to deny about that (lack of heavy weaponry at the beginning, etc.) , but how could Bosnia had the right to secede from the Yugoslavia by completely ignoring and overriding its third constitutional ethnic group's wish to remain in the old country (thus directly breaking its own law in this matter)? Was that not illegal? You also seem to abruptly forget what sides most Bosniaks were on during the WW2 ("Handzar divison", Waffen SS, does it sound lil' familiar?) and the fear Serbs felt when seeing green Bosniak and Croatian flags tied together again in the spring of '92?  Was that fear irrational, what do you think? What about Croatian units in Bosnia during the war, they were not the "aggressors" somehow? Any normal and decent Serb can only be glad that Arkan and Milosevic got what they deserved and I hope all of those war-criminals on all three sides get what they deserve as well. However, IMO, the true reconciliation can only come when all sides admit their own part in this stupid, unneeded,  and criminal war.

I'll be more than glad to continue the debate in a civilized manner, but I will not take any more "you're nationalist" attitude from a person who can't or won't admit the greater picture (as nothing is ever pure "black" and "white" like some people would like to believe). That being said, I'd like to hear your answers to my questions above. Regards, Okrojsha.
