We want to welcome back our friend, Dick Styles of Tom Brady is my Hero to the world of active blogging. OK, we’ll admit, it. We’ve largely been in the dark for years regarding all the goings-on over there in the former Yugoslavia but D. Styles has some thoughts here regarding Kosovo’s recent declaration of independence and its potential ramifications.
He purposely kept it short and sweet and promised to fill in any blanks/questions in the comment section.

Kosovo Konfused?

Mr. Styles,
Christopher Hitchens, a writer whom I usually find persuasive, differs with you significantly on this subject.
The essential point is that the Serbian annexation of Kosovo in 1912 was never internationally recognized. The only legal recognition came with Kosovo's incorporation into Yugoslavia. The de-facto break up of Yugoslavia no more gives Serbia a right to Kosovo than the break up of Canada would give the U.S. a right to say British Columbia, despite our prior claims there.
