An angry crowd of Serbs attacked the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade today. Here is the New York Times version of the story:

While I do not condone this attack on the U.S. Embassy, I can certainly understand why the Serbian people are angry at the U.S. and the E.U. The NATO bombing of Serbia was wrong, and the U.S. and EU recognizing the Kosovo Albanian Moslem declaration of independence is also wrong. It is the age-old alliance of Western Europe and the Papacy with the Ottoman Moslems against the indigenous Orthodox Christians of Serbia--the same nonsense that led to the outbreak of World War I after the Austro-Hungarians started shelling Belgrade in 1914. What also bothers me is how little Americans know about the history of Islam in the Balkans. Most Americans, including our journalists, do not even know that the Kosovo Albanians--and Osama Bin Laden's Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA)--are Moslems fighting against Orthodox Christians.
