And who will go to bat for Kosovo? (Part II)

Part I

It turns out it's Wesley Clark. See today's New York Times letters section.

Excerpt:

"You also reject independence for the province. Does this mean that the Kosovo Albanians would just live in the international limbo of United Nations administration indefinitely - with no access to foreign lending and investment, and thus very high unemployment?

The riots last year against Serbs and other minority groups were indefensible. But recognizing that social unrest has underlying causes and charting a path to a settlement to begin dealing with those causes does not "reward bad faith." Independence may well be the best way to get a functioning state that produces real benefits for people, including Kosovo's Serbs. When people have responsibility, they tend to behave more responsibly."

General Clark must read your blog.

Yeah, he did echo my sentiments pretty well, didn't he?
