No matter how hard I search the net I cannot seem to find a plausible truth of the Kosovo dispute. Why is the US backing Kosovo secession? Why did French President Nicolas Sarkozy say "The Kosovans and the Serbs no longer want to live together. Our goal is that Europe does not explode."(http://politics.guardian.co.uk/eu/story/0,,2227980,00.html) when he is a member of western powers that bare fangs at the idea of any nationalist separation of peoples? Why is the west forming an independent Kosovo?
Also, Saddam invaded Kuwait in the first Gulf War. But someone on this board knows of his invitation to do so by western powers, because I have seen their statement but did not copy it. Why did Saddam invade Kuwait when both he and his intelligence apparatus surely knew the US would retaliate on behalf of their "ally"?
