Last year,
Montenegro voted to break it off with Serbia. Last Sunday
Kosovo decided to
call it quits as well. Serbians are so upset they decided to
trash their own country, and today I watched people
marching through downtown Vancouver in protest, waving flags and chanting "Kosovo is Serbia" and holding signs saying "Kosovo = Québec",
fearmongerimplying that if Canada recognizes Kosovo as an independent nation it will
encourage Québec to secede. I didn't see any pictures of
Radovan Karadžić in Vancouver, but they certainly were in evidence in Belgrade.
Call me bemused. Serbians are doubtless annoyed that it doesn't have Albanian Kosovars to
kick aroundmurder anymore. But they should look at it on the positive side: next time they can have the thrill of an invasion and
then throw another genocide. Even at the best of times nationalism
looks like a
load of hooey, but these guys really take the cake.
Greater Serbia indeed.
