No sense of humor???

I do admit that the video was funny, but that's just because I'm on the western side myself.

Anyway, think about it, if some country's soldier who were in your country made a similar video and called you "bad American/British guys". How would you react???

"Somewhere far overseas, there's a place called Kosovo, that's where you don't want to go if you're Albanian at all... Milosevic, you son of a [expletive]."

Let me rephrase that:

"Somewhere far overseas, there's a place called America, that's where you don't want to go if you're against Bus....Bush, you son of a 'peep'"

Humor that is directed at some people is likely to make them feel insulted.

I think if it were simply the objections of the Serbians, it would have been ignored completely...

I think that by pointing out the serious flaws in NATO and EU policy towards Serbia itself as well as the rest of the region is not being taken so litely.

" We never know what happens after we go.... tough luck for Kosavo "

After all, you have to remember how this all began, Serbia deployed its army after the Western supported KLA began to attack members of the Serbian minority in the area, then NATO encouraged by the US and Britain began its bombing campaign of Serbia to stop them.... Now years later we have NATO troops trying ( without much success ) to prevent the Albanians from killing the Serbian civilians...

you are right, the video does demonstrate the anti-Serbia sentiment of the organizations involved... But we knew that already. It is also part of why intervention there is doomed to fail.

The video should be taken for what it is, an expresion of humor and frustration towards bad policy, failed good intentions, and a loss of innocence ( think you own side is always, absolutely right ) There is so much grey involved with reality.

BTW

"Somewhere far overseas, there's a place called America, that's where you don't want to go if you're against Bus....Bush, you son of a 'peep'"

I think that is both fair and true as well.
