It’s hard or you can not compare Kosovo with other crises or questions around the world. The Kosovo is last chapter of disintegration of former Yugoslavia and it is unique case. Kosovo was under sovereignty of UN and NATO.<BR/>Kosovo independence is correction oh historical mistakes. <BR/><BR/>Driton Lajci<BR/>Adjunct Faculty<BR/>University of Maryland American Camp Bondsteel KosovoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12223911.post-4989519093735876462008-01-14T14:30:00.000-08:002008-01-14T14:30:00.000-08:00Dear Mr. Prabhu Guptara,If you believe in the righ...Dear Mr. Prabhu Guptara,<BR/><BR/>If you believe in the right of self-determination for Kosovo, do you recommend this for Kashmir, Khalistan, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Mizoram. Tripura all in India, and for Tamil Ealam in Sri Lanka?. <BR/><BR/>What about self-determination for Mindanao, Panni Marithawad, Chechnya, and Xinjiang, all Muslim majority provinces in non Muslim majority states like Kosovo? How about Biafra, Scotland, Catalina, and Basque country? <BR/><BR/>What about the return and self-determination for all those Serbs driven out of Croatia, Bosnia, and Kosovo itself who fought for independent Republika Serpska and Republika Krajina?<BR/><BR/>Democracy and freedom does mean self-determination. Democracy is the will of the majority. <BR/><BR/>Self-determination is the will of the minority who refuses to accept majority rule and choose istead to destroy the state through secession.<BR/><BR/>Raju George Curian Thomas<BR/>Visiting US Fulbright Professor<BR/>Faculty of the Political Sciences<BR/>Jove Ilica 165, Belgrade University<BR/>11000 Belgrade, Serbia Montenegro<BR/> <BR/>http://www.lexingtonbooks.com/Catalog/SingleBook.shtml?command=Search&db=^DB/CATALOG.db&eqSKUdata=0739105175<BR/><BR/>http://www.marquette.edu/polisci/Thomas.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
