So Kosovo has claimed independence but some countries such as Spain, Russia, and China are refusing to recognize them.

Maybe its just the American in me but if there is a territory that wants independence and there is a history of violence why not just let them be independent. It would help end violence in that part of the world IMO.


But I guess Russia is worried about Checneya(sp) and China worried about Taiwan. It seems like the economic/power is causing them to not want to recognize Kosovo.

Hopefully all of that made sense.

Do they ignore parts of reality?

Yeah, and Spain because of the Basque rebels. I agree, if a people can rise up and maintain their independence then they should be recognized.

A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?
