    US Embassy in Belgrade under siege

    Well it is starting. The US embassy in Belgrade is under siege at this moment. Reports saying they have set the building on fire. Probably more to come. Where did WW1 start again.

    Although I don't approve, but at least I feel empathy. If Americans are so fond of Kosovars - why don't them let all of them immigrate to US. US will benefit greatly from this infusion of honest, hardworking and diligent people, no?

    p.s. Does anyone know how much they fetched for Bush's watch last time?

    What is suprising is the protestors torched the Croatian embassey beside the US one, a country which has not as yet extended Kosovo recognition.

    It's a Serbian mob and it's the Croatian embassy. This is my suprised face:
    When will Serbia grow out of this petulant whingeing? If they hadn't attempted to subjugate Kosovo, they might still have it.
