Although The Patriot-News AP reported two different articles since clashes between Albanian and Serbs in Kosovo began, national coverage of this tragedy has yet to take center stage. The cause of the clashes is attributed to the drowning of Albanian boys by Serbs which was later proven to be false..

The Scotsman of 18 March quotes UN official Derek Chappel as saying, "In a sign that the outbreak of violence could have been planned, Serb enclaves in the towns of Caglavica and Gracanica, as well as villages elsewhere, were also attacked." This was confirmed by NATO’s commander for Southern Europe, Adm. Gregory Johnson, as saying, "The relentless wave of violence across Kosovo over the past two days now appears to be organised and orchestrated." Agence France-Presse of 19 March further quotes Adm. Johnson, "To speak of inter-ethnic conflict in Kosovo is a big, hypocritical lie. What’s happening in Kosovo is called a pogrom against a people and its history."

National Guardsmen from all over the United States, including Pennsylvania, are sent to countries like Kosovo to maintain the peace. But when there is no peace to keep, they are caught in the cross-fire of two warring factions. Stars and Stripes of 19 March reported, "Some U.S. troops took fire and dodged grenades, bombs and bricks, Brig. Gen. Rick Erlandson, the U.S. commander in Kosovo, said in a press statement. This was from the very people whose environment we help keep safe and secure," he said. "The progress made here has been tarnished. It is my hope that it has not been unalterably changed." In essence, US Peacekeepers who were sent to Kosovo to "liberate" ethnic Albanian, now have Albanian guns pointed at them.

It should be deeply disturbing to every American the National Review Online of 19 March which reports, "A pogrom started in Europe this week, with one U.N. official being quoted as saying, ‘Kristallnacht is under way in Kosovo.’ Serbs are being murdered and their 800-year-old churches are aflame. Much of the Christian heritage in Kosovo and Metohija is on fire and could be lost forever. By these deeds too many of Kosovo's Albanians have shown that their rhetoric about "democracy" and "multiethnicity" is false, and demonstrates also that the international community's acceptance of them has been naïïve. How did this week's events begin? Just as in the 1930s, a rumor became a fact and prearranged plans were put into action. Members of the victimized community (in this case, Serbian children) were accused of chasing four Albanian children into a river and causing the death of three of them. Hours later, the U.N. Mission which is what passes for authority in Kosovo issued a statement that the accusation against the Serbs was false, adding that the surviving Albanian child had told the U.N. that no Serbs had been involved in the drownings. Nevertheless, anti-Serb violence did not abate. And today Kosovo burns still."

Americans have been falsely led to believe that Kosovo is a success story. Nothing could be further from the truth. It was just a matter of time. What is the bottom line AS I SEE IT? It is as though 415 years of Islamic rule over the Christian Serbs were not enough. Our flawed foreign policy by both administrations have condemned the Serbs to once again live under an oppressive Muslim state and we are seeing the tragic results today. What is happening in Kosovo is evidence that not only are the Kosovo Albanians seeking independence by usurping Serbia's Jerusalem, they also want a pure Muslim state even if it means forcing out or murdering the few Serbs and non-Albanians who remain.
