I was waiting for elite to weigh in on this one...
anyone care to remove the image of the men in military dress stowing severed heads please? I just ate, and i dont need to see that, more to the point neither does my partner.
the beauty of living down here is that there is noone else to fight over borders and land with. Sure the kiwis and poms are coming here in droves, but hey, i can live with that, cos it proves we're better!
As far as im concerned, if an ethnic group who are almost exclusive to a region of a decent size can elect a governing body, who in turn is able to produce to the UN a positive, progressive plan for economic development and stability, they ought to be given independence. Sure there'd be lotsa details to sort, but i think it oughta work like that.
EDIT: Elite, as for your 'unparrallelled savagery' comment, I'd reconsider your use of it, given the convictions for genocide against several serbs stemming from the conflict. Now to go back to topic, the current push for kosovan independence, not the history of the wars of the area.
