| Kosovo Recognition / The right decision. / by Stephen [Suleiman Ahmad] Schwartz Albanians [sic] and their supporters euphorically celebrated Sunday's declaration of independence by the republic of Kosovo. The sensation of liberty from Serbian domination was intoxicating.... George W. Bush gave his blessing to the newly-free country.... Lack of a UN seat has done little to deter Taiwan from achieving extraordinary prosperity and stability, even though that small democracy must contend with the disfavor of Beijing. A comparison with Taiwan is further appropriate because Serbia claims that it will enjoy support, in challenging the Kosovars [sic] and their allies... Kosovars distrust foreign police--except Americans.... One thing should be clear: President Bush has done the right thing. Albanians, although Muslim in their majority, are fanatics only about their appreciation for America. Albanian Islam is moderate, and constitutes a bulwark against radicalization of European Muslims. Albanians avoid conflicts over religion and are satisfied to allow each among them to choose how to, or whether to, practice the religion of their choice. |
That passage has been heavily censored to omit the parts where Sully Steve badmouthes the bad guys. Boost don't knock, O Bones, boost don't knock!
At any rate, on my first pass through this drool, I found those age-old affinities and affiliations between Prishtinë KS and Rancho Crawford TX the most strikin’ twistification. Uncle Sam will be glad to hear that his idiot nephew is still somebody's favourite GloboCop. It seems a pity that Mme. Secretary of War Albright couldn't be with us, however. Nobody did more to make this crownin’ moment possible &c. &c.
To be sure, it would seriously complicate the neocomradely exposition if Sully Steve was to mention the iron lady's name. Due to some purely technical oversight, as I presume, she is still a jackass, having not yet formally apostasized to Boy and Dynasty and Party and Ideology. [1] Naturally the name of Clinton does not darken the webpage either. In beautiful downtown Prishtinë, I daresay the street people all consider it was the late Neocomrade Representative H. Hyde of IL who first created that national happiness of theirs that almost excels Taiwan's. Or somebody very like Mr. Hyde.
Speaking of IL reminds me that for analytical ends we do need to cite a certain minimum of Naqshbandí knockin’, at the expense of Rulalaw rather than the Land of Lincoln:
| [M]uch of Europe sees a resolution of these issues in continued interference with Kosovo, through international control over local institutions in the republic. Kosovar independence, as presently conceived, will be encumbered by a foreign police and justice administration, the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo or EULEX, made up of 2,000 foreigners and 1,000 locals. |
"Marg bar EULEX! ¡Abajo la intellegencia! Viva la muerte! "
Sully Steve finds himself in twisteological straits. V-K Day makes him very happy, yet so many of the producers and directors of the show are distasteful to Wingnut City and Rio Limbaugh. Benefits must come, it seems, but woe betide her by whom they come! [2] The late Ian Smith's brand of UDI will have been more the neocomrades' cup of tea, I guess. Mais où sont les neiges de Rhodesia?
Ah, but are we too in straits, Mr. Bones? When the set of {X and not-Y} is a contradiction, usually the set of {not-X and Y} is logic-challenged also. May one approve of Grotius and Puffendorf (MTSBE) and yet entertain doubts that EULEX has legitimately inherited their prophetic mantles? [3]
That trick is quite possible, I think, though not at the infimal Schwartzian level of discourse. Sully Steve barks and bellows at the Abominable Serbs, naturally, and scraps of tripe like "For his part, Putin schemes for reassertion of Russian power in the Balkans" may be spotted floating in the drool, but there is no indication of how the fiends argue for their fiendishnesses. Fiends don't have reasons, after all, unless "They hate us because of our Freedom" counts as a reason. The neocomrades don't take their favorite fortune cookie in that sense, however. It appears that a fiend reacts to AEI/GOP/DoD Freedom must as Count Dracula would recoil from a garlic frappe: thought has nothin’ worth mentionin’ to do with it.

[1] What's she waiting for, an engagement ring from Sen. Lieberman? (It's rumoured Mizz Madeleine is working for Mizz Hillary, actually.)
[2] Ev. Matt. XVIII:7: vae mundo ab scandalis necesse est enim ut veniant scandala verumtamen vae homini per quem scandalum venit.
(( My pet google just noticed one of the FREEP creeps referrin’ to Big Party neocomrade S. S. A. Schwartz as "the [I]slamist fifth columnist and Kosovo Albanian agent!!!!" Folks like that have no proper sense of measure, not even about punctuation. ))
[3] "May their shadows be elongated!" (What else?)
