Reader comment on item: Victory – An Obsolete Concept?
in response to reader comment: Jiziya
Submitted by the Grand Infidel of Kafiristan (Australia), Aug 8, 2009 at 05:59
Sheik yermami writes:
"It is also a horror to see the US bomb the Christian Serbs out of Bosnia, Kosovo and Herzegovina only to establish a greater Albania, or rather 3 brand-new narco-jihad fiefdoms right smack in the middle of Europe. What a betrayal! What a misguided, foolish and dangerous attempt to pacify our implacable enemies."
You're absolutely 100% spot-on in this observation. Bosnia will remain a problematic safe haven for Islamists intent on their European infiltration. The Serbs have in the past never been rewarded for their unfortunate role in being the guard dogs of Europe. Then America steps in and bombs them to appear even handed to sniggering foes feigning victimhood.
