Not when strangers from another continent occupy your beloved fatherland.

Does New York belong to the Iroquois in your mind? Should Brittany be returned to Britain? Gibraltar given to Spain?
How can it be `beloved` if they haven`t had it for hundreds of years and so many generations?
Sounds like rhetoric and BS to me.

Well then let's start dividing up what is today Poland and let Germany demand back what was taken 62 years ago. Should Austria then be re-united with Hungary? Where would this take us???
How about oh... maybe Palestine? Who would own that? Who would own Iran/Iraq after all I am sure you will find a beduine who can lay claim to the land. Maybe we would have to return bigger parts of China to the Mongols. After all they conquered it in the 11th century...
They are part of your world. Accept it. You should also accept the fact that you can't always have back what you lost. Guess you have never quite gotten that lesson in Pre-K.
Clinton and every other statesman and human being saw what was being done on the Balkans for what it was. It was cold blooded murder, ethnic cleansing, you tried a pathetic version of the "Final Solution". You failed because you were to dumb to learn from history.
No matter what ethnic group or religion they belong to. If you think you must kill one another, we ought to facilitate death equally, quickly and fairly and finish it in a hurry so we can be home for dinner and not have to worry about some fool to wait a couple of decades, centuries or longer to start bringing it up again.
