and Algeria used to be France for a while....
i keep going back to something you are avoiding. Kosovo was part of Serbia and every country of the world accepted it. and if we stood by Serbia in its quest - nobody would have recoganised Kosovo.
Osetia was added as a land to Georgia. Kosovo, on another hand, was always a serbian land where serbian liders allowed albanians to live.... osetians, right or wrong, want their land to be separated from another country. kosovars wanted someone elses land to become theirs.
please justify that for me...why we allowed that to happen yet take the opposite stand with S.Osetia..?
