UN united all separatists

By M. Bozinovich
Earlier this year, Sri Lanka saw the writing on the wall in regards to the precedent that the so-called International Court of Justice was about to make on the issue of Serbian Kosovo and dully rounded up their guns, got themselves a winning general and killed all of the separatists in the Tamil province that were threatening the demise of that country. Since then, judging by their stock market, Sri Lanka is prospering… and good for them.
Serbia never did this in Croatia, Bosnia nor in its own province of Kosovo… and it is now paying for it because of some sixth rate bureaucrats in the State Department that probably can not tell their own house on the US map let alone Kosovo where Albanians are murdering Serbs.
Across the world, others, like Serbia, did not do what Sri Lanka wisely chose, and as a result they are standing on an international precedent, by judges no one elected, to swallow a break up of their own country as legitimate.
Unlike Sri Lanka, Milosevic is seen practicing "principled" diplomacy with the Albanian separatist Rugova.
Granted, break up of the US along ethnic lines is still in the future, but it is hard not to imagine that Mexicans are not rejoicing at the ICJ Kosovo ruling because Mexicans will, finally, get their land back… sometimes in the future and calling on this Kosovo precedent.
