Kosovo

Kosovo was part of Serbia,is part of Serbia and should be part of Serbia.An ethnic minority in a country by becoming majority in a geographical area has no right to declare itself an Independent country.It is against International law and dangerous for peace and stability in the world.An ethnic minority should have all the rights ,privileges and protections to lead a decent,normal life.Some old European countries like Britain,France and Germany are behaving arrogantly.European Union has no right to send police force to Kosovo without permission from UN.Would British allow an ethnic minority like Pakistanis in Birmingham declare itself as a separate country once they become majority there? Would Germany allow Turks in a corner of Germany when they become majority declare themselves separate country?would France allow Africans in Paris suburbs declare themselves as an Independent country? It is not a far fetched idea.Why should it be? These people are no different from Albanians. Whatever problems Albanians had with previous Serbian leaders does not exist now. Serbia is now a democratic country like these old European countries. If this unlawful act allowed to stand, why not Tamils declare themselves a separate country in the north of Sri Lanka,Pathans in Pakistan,Rebel provinces in countries in the old Soviet Union ,Basques in Spain and so on.
As a Republican who voted for President Bush twice, I find some of this administration's foreign policy decisions dumb and stupid.Secretary Rice's statement that Serbia and Kosovo should move on is silly. I wonder what Ms.Rice would say if Mexicans when they become majority in some parts of California,Texas and Arizona declare themselves as independent and want to join Mexico? She would appreciate it if Mexico says to her move on !!

Presidential Primaries-2008

Presidential primaries started and there were so many candidates in the Republican primary.I was not sure whom to support.Gov.Romney or Mayor Giuliani.I sent donations to both.I was not that comfortable with Mayor Giuliani.I never liked Sen.McCain .There was no question of supporting him in the primaries.When the party needed him he was not there.Immigration,taxes and oil exploration issues he supported Democrats.Then there was Se.Thompson.He was too easy going and looked too lazy.So I supported Go.Romney.I sent donations and wholeheartedly supported him I was expecting that he would do well.Sen.Thompson was a total failure.Conservatives waited ,waited for a white Horse and it never came.Sean Hannity and laura Ingram came on the band wagon ,but it was too late.Gov.Romney suspended his campaign and announced during his speech at conservative convention at Washington DC.I saw conservatives crying.I was unhappy but Gov.Romney made a right decision at the right time.Huckabee from Arkansa is still in the race and won Kansas tonight.He is not going to win and can not undersstand why he is still in the race.Probably Ego.It does not do any good to the Party.
