Nice to know you didn't respond to the majority of my post.

Hence my use of "for the most part."

Did you seriously just call me a Muppet?

All de facto independent states should be recognized. So now refusing to recognize Kosovo is just stupid, no matter that it's independence is illegal (regardless of the ICJ's opinion)

[Voerdeland]

About the same court that said illegal bombing and agression of yugoslavia by Nato is out of its juristiction???

Tell me. Are all Serbians mindlessly ultranationalist, or is it just a vocal minority?

That's not nationalist.

NATO bombed Yugoslavia without any permission from the United Nations. It was illegal actions, bombing civilian populations with DU. Cancer hot-spots have been in recorded in Serbia since.

Even if UN agreed it would be illegal. Bombing of any nations without a good reason is always an act of barbarism.

BTW
Yugoslavia was excluded from the UN in 1992, so punishing it's former leaders for genocide commited after it is nothing more than a savage lynch.

What constitutes a de facto independent state?

Serbia has no control over Kosovo's territory, so Kosovo is de facto independent.
Cyprus has no control over Turkish Northern Cyprus' territory, so Northern Cyprus is de facto independent.
Georgia has no control over Abkhazia, so Abkhazia is de facto independent.
etc.

Ok.

Cyprus has no control over Turkish Northern Cyprus' territory, so Northern Cyprus is de facto independent.

Northern Cyprus is not de facto independent. It is a part of Turkey.

[Voerdeland]

Northern Cyprus is not de facto independent. It is a part of Turkey.

No it is not.

[Buffett and Colbert]

No it is not.

Fail on my part. Sorry.

Great. Just what we need. Another divided ethnic group. First Moldova, then Macedonia, and now Kosovo. Wonderful.

Yes, they get divided by ethnicity and no longer have civil wars because of it

And those nations have multiple ethnicities in them.

And Kosovo doesn't? Even places like the USA, England, and Australia have ethnic clashes.

Every place has ethnic clashes because no one nation has 100% of one ethnicity. But every state in the US is predominantly anglo saxon. Same goes for every [insert whatever the UK has] in the UK and every state in Australia.

There are more Albanians than Serbians in Kosovo, but no ethnic group has a vast majority there.

Read that sentence again, and see why it makes no sense.

OOPS, my mistake. There IS a vast majority of Albanians in Kosovo.

Both of us seem to be a little out of it...
