Independent Kosovo

Kosovo officially declared thier independence on February 17th. Many western nations were quick to recognize the world's newest state, despite Serbia and Russia's opposition. Other nations have yet to recognize Kosovo becuase they fear that this will fuel ethnic nationalism within thier own borders. I can just imagine that oppressed minorities in those obscure countries will start some kind of international revolution. The thought of the Chechens, Ossetians, Abkhaz, Kurds, Basques, Crimean Tatars, Palestinians, Tibetans, Ughyurs, Kabyles, and Tamils actually gaining thier independence is pretty amazing especially with all of the crap they have been through. Anyway I hope that Kosovo 's Independence will bring much needed closure to the whole Yugoslavia debacle.
