Attitudes like this are precisely the reason why Albanians have absolutely no 
signifigance in world affairs.  Albania told the whole world to go to hell 
for that matter for 50 years, and we see how far that got them.  The above 
attitude is extremely wrongheaded.

Listen people.  It is extremely frustrating that the Albanian cause in 
Macedonia has been misrepresented. And if we are going to call names let's do 
it right at Albania's and Kosova's own leaders who have placed their own 
personal political and economic survival over that of the Albanians in 
Macedonia.  But it is far more productive to spend our time educating 
everybody about what is going on in Macedonia, and to stop calling people 
names.  Especially the people who supported us (i.e. NATO which inclides 
Europe and the US).  The NATO nations don't always get it right when it comes 
to the Balkans, but fact is that they came to the Albanians' defense in 
Kosova.  We should be grateful for this, and grateful for the troops they 
have placed in the region.

It is very easy to criticize, and much harder to be constructive.   World 
opinion has taken the Macedonian side.  Really, we have no one else but 
ourselves to blame.  So let's start doing something about it, and leave the 
name-calling and cry-babying for another day.
