Rant of the Week: 4/22/07-4/28/07

This week’s rant is long enough to be an essay, but we are classifying it as a rant anyway. For one thing, it seems more motivated by disgust then careful analysis. For another, the accusations thrown about and the importance of the issue seem a little overdone to us. Still, we think that Spengler has a point in this rant.

Why should America be encouraging the secession of Kosovo from Serbia and yet forbid that part of Kosovo whose population that is majority Serb from rejoining Serbia? Where does self-determination end and who gets to draw the line?

That last question can be answered by saying that those with the guns can make the rules. But making a decision on that basis seems to be laying the ground work for future bloodshed.
