Excuse my ignorance but I hope there's somebody who can tell me (honestly) what is printed on ID papers of Kosovo Albanians (passport, ID card or similar) - before confiscation by the authorities. What kind of papers do Serbs have? Does on both appear 'citizenship : Yugoslavian' or similar? If so, say no more! Just in case there is some special stamp in it like "Albanian tolerated on souvereign Yugoslavian territory" I would be open and pleased to take this whole ethnic cleansing discussion further. Second naive question: what do contemporary civilian Kosovars have to do with what happened 100 years or longer ago in Kosovo history? Just in case the answer is "nothing" I throw a 3rd question: why do so many people have such miserable camping vacation by the borders and all at the same time?
THE ALBANIANS ARE CITIZENS OF YUGOSLAVIA

THE ALBANIANS ARE TRYING TO TAKE THE HISTORICAL HOMELAND OF THE SERBS,KOSOVO, ONLY BECAUSE THEY ARE A MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION THEIR, WOULD YOU SUPPORT THE BLACKS IF THEY WANTED TO TAKE ATLANTA OR WASHINGTON D.C.? THE U.S. PUBLIC IS BEING MISINFORMED

Well, DC has and has had a black mayor for many years. These were elected by DC's residents. I don't recall Congress sending in the US Army or National Guard to expel all blacks from DC. Perhaps you saw this in a movie or local newshow. Well, here's some reality for you- it was FICTION.
If Albanians are citizens of Yugo, how can they be expelled from their own country?
My "historical" homeland is now ruled by China but even the PLA did not come in and expel foreigners or local Cantonese and replace with Beijingren in Mao suits. Even China has standards it will not fall below. Tianmen is nothing compared to stories coming out of Kosovo.

Think about it- your country has now fallen below the human rights standards of one of the few remaining communist countries.

That is pretty damn low.
