Are we really going to let the Serb government get away with allowing this? Is that the kind of limp-wristed impression we're going to give the world? Beat us up, and we won't protect ourselves...we'll just cry and run home to mama. What a bunch of namby-pambies.
This is crap. We should have paratrooped a platoon of heavily-armed marines into our embassy, to assure its safety. It's pretty obvious that's the only safety we'd get anyway.
EDIT: Now, the McDonald's? They can level that place, for all I care. Their burgers aren't made of cows anyway.  |
If we fail to arm the interior of the embassy with more marines this time, I would say we had it coming to us. Security measures are being taken care of, we don't just send an ambassador into a country where radicals want to kill him because our involvment in their affairs.
How many times can it be stressed - Kosovo would still be 'independent' with the backing of the foremost powers in the EU. The US could have prevented this very easily. When we jump into something like this, we are the first to be blamed because we are the most powerful and influential. 'If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.'
