Russia's Medvedev warns Kosovo's independence could set Europe ablaze

Medvedev said recognition of Kosovo's declaration Feb. 17, spearheaded by the United States, has "put Europe in a very difficult situation."

"The United States is far away and is not facing any risks, but Europe could go ablaze," he said in a campaign speech in the Volga River city of Nizhny Novgorod. "It's enough to put a match to set everything ablaze."

It appears that First Deputy Prim Minister Medvedev has an appreciation of history, and the consequences of political actions devolving into violence.

Unfortunately at this time, the foreign policy makers here in the US have little or no understanding of history.

If they had, they never, ever would have backed the independence of Kosovo from Serbia.(MR)
