This whole situation really reminds me *somewhat* of Israel- Palastine... I hope to god, goat or who ever: that it will NEVER get to that situation.
Azal, wtf is going on in Belgrade?

I've had the same thoughts as Azal for some time now. I think it's wise to see through the rhetoric and try to be pragmatic. The problem is that the whole thing is so deeply entrenched in the national psyche that attempting to be pragmatic about something so inherently emotional usually results in a smash to the face.
My hope is that the international community (especially NATO and the European Union) responds sensibly in a way that can attempt to pacify, or at least quell, the more radical movements, while at the same time slowly facilitating European integration for Serbia. Timescale wise this is generational. Like Azal said about his mothers feelings, it's something that can only be blunted with time. Whether that happens or not, I can't say.

and to answer Will's "question," I still feel that it is better here than in the U.S. because I am experiencing life and revolution first hand as a journalist rather than hanging out in the diner's and in front of quick check/wawa's and talking about my Iroc.
but it's whatever floats your boat.

Also note: Although Israel already declared a palastinean country in 1995, I hope that a situation like the one in Serbia will happen there as well... maybe this will end the "saga" ...
After reading your thoughts, and some more replies from that Israeli newspaper (we have a lot of serbian people in Israel) I think I might agree with you...
Although, it's not easy... on one hand I'm sure you just want to say: fuck war let's just all play nicely and stop the killing, on the other: you can't stop thinking about "your peoples" rights...
bah.

You sometimes wonder if the "rights" of a people become utterly lost in conflicts such as this. Hatred runs deep and eventually exists for its own sake.
On a sentimental note, Serbia is a wonderful country and Belgrade especially has such a wealth of culture, history and beauty that I hope things get resolved peacefully.

I hear ya.
I've come to a point in my life though, where I "experienced" life way too much from first hand, that I decided to go 6000 miles away as far as I can...
Who knows, maybe that 'experiencing life' bug will hit me again...

Me too, because my friends' wedding will take place there and I am looking forward to this trip to Serbia

I was totally being sarcastic and whatever, not trying some holier than though shit or shitting on the American dream or whatever, I'm just saying that for some people, insecurity is better than boredom.

I totally understand.. I just gave my 2 cents..
I think both of us come from a very similar situation...
It sure annoys me sometimes when people try to "give me advices" on political situations ....
But it's very similar to what some of us doing to the US... every body judges the US politics - but get mad when the US judges them...
there are two sides to everything

we actually are opposites, you ran away from trouble I ran into trouble.
though, if you want to be a journalists, your best bet is living in a country in turmoil, job security ftw

I said "we come" from similar situations, we just ended up in the complete opposites of the ocean
