With his recognition of Kosovo’s independence, Bush managed to enter the anals of Serbian history right along with the distinguished Murad II whose rule was marked by the long war he fought against the Christian peoples, says Wikipedia. Then again, Daniel Fried at the State Department says that Serbs are mistaken about their own history.

- Speaking of history, Maryland became the first colony to institutionalize slavery in 1640 – 1640!. “I mean, after all, we’re talking about something from 1389 — 1389! It’s time to move forward,” says Condolezza Rice. Oups! My bad, she was talking about Serbs.

- As for Noel Malcolm’s Is Kosovo Serbia? We ask a historian in the Guardian it is worthy to remember that the stupidest fool is the one that always shouts the loudest mistaking his noise for wisdom.

- On the blowback on US Embassy attack in Belgrade: Attacking fools in Belgrade insipire a fool to attack Melissa Bean.

- Serbia is devotedly accused of violating minority rights for so long until, suddenly, the minority carves out a Serb-free state that the accusers recognize.

- The corollary to the above axiom: Every time Serbia refuses to recognize an ethnically Serb-free state, it is accussed of a return to Milosevic-style hardline nationalism.

- Don’t let anyone fool you, you Serb! Losing your own land in exchange for joining the EU is a great deal. Just wait few years for reasons as those who will tell them to you are being recruited.
