Statement
Note: If you want to develop this Statement into an Argumentation, you have to fill in the Title box of this Statement.
"The Kosovo-Albanians have played us like a Stradivarius. We have subsidized and indirectly supported their violent campaign for an ethnically pure and independent Kosovo. We have never blamed them for being the perpetrators of the violence in the early '90s and we continue to portray them as the designated victim today in spite of evidence to the contrary. When they achieve independence with the help of our tax dollars combined with those of bin Laden and al-Qaeda, just consider the message of encouragement this sends to other terrorist-supported independence movements around the world."
-- Lewis MacKenzie, former Canadian UNPROFOR Commander, in a commentary, "We bombed the wrong side?"
