The people will be cheering because Bush has signed on to a U.N. scheme to dismember a sovereign state, Serbia, and hand over its province of Kosovo to Albanian nationalists and Muslim separatists. Ethnic Albanians became a majority in Kosovo in the same way that Mexicans have assumed political power and influence in much of the American southwest. What Bush is doing is laying the groundwork for more conflict and upheaval in the world. Stories have already been written about rebels and separatists in various parts of the world who will be looking to Kosovo as inspiration for their cause. Never before in history has the U.N. presided over the deliberate destruction of a sovereign state. Kosovo represents the religious heritage of Serbia's Christians and many Christian churches have already been destroyed by Muslim extremists there. Taking Kosovo from Serbia is comparable to taking Jerusalem from Israel. Yet the U.S. is supporting the U.N. scheme to make Kosovo an independent Muslim state in Europe. Of course, it doesn't make any sense on many levels. The U.S. fights Muslim extremists in one place, Iraq, but rewards them in another place, Kosovo. When the terrorists in Iraq are being openly assisted by outside hostile states like Iran and Syria, and the U.S. does virtually nothing to stop them, how much confidence can we have in the "new" Bush, as opposed to the one of a few years ago who was determined to win in this critical country? Is Bush's Iraq "legacy" going to be to leave this problem (and defeat) for his successor? And is this why he has put so much political capital in the immigration bill and other U.N.-backed proposals? Is this what he views as his new "legacy?" One has to conclude that it is. Kosovo in America But the implications of the Albanian visit and the Kosovo policy are truly ominous. If ethnic Albanians can take Kosovo from Serbia, then Mexico can take the Southwest from the U.S., making it part of Mexico or making it into a state or region of its own, separate from the U.S. Indeed, there is a plan to do just that. Bush apparently doesn't fear this possibility because he sees Mexico joining Canada and the U.S. in some kind of ultimate trilateral entity. In this kind of world, there would be a common identity card and people would be free to travel anywhere. So when you see Bush getting applauded in Albania and when you see the people of that country waving American flags on Sunday, don't act smug because it appears that America has some friends in the world. What Bush is doing is laying the foundation for the ultimate destruction of the United States. What We Must Do It is reported that Bush missed a few of the G-8 meetings because of a stomach ache. The results of the meeting and his visit to Albania, if they are fairly and honestly reported to the American people, should leave many Americans with a very sick feeling. Those who are committed to American sovereignty must deny Bush his "legacy." Our survival as a nation depends on it. If Bush goes down in history as the Republican Jimmy Carter, so be it. That's far better than leaving our borders and sovereignty in ruins. The borders of Iraq matter, too, but it is not clear that Bush has the will to win that war, either. All of this leaves 2008 Republican presidential candidates in a quandary. All they can do, realistically speaking, as Rep. Tom Tancredo did forcefully at the last debate, is distance themselves from the President. Their patriotism has to come before their President.
