[NYC-L] Albanian-Israeli relations and the recognition of Kosova

[Visar Belegu]

For a long time now I hear about the failiures of the Albanian diplomacy.  
If one is to learn from the deeds of say Fan Noli and the effects he 
excerted in the American policy toward Albania through his relationship with 
President Wilson then such claims become preposterous.

Our failiures toward independece throughout history have been a combination 
of our political immaturity at home, greed, division all wrapped in 
personalities that can be clearly seen in today's leaders of Albania i.e. 
Nano, Berisha, Rugova, Thaqi, Haradinaj, Daci, Surroi and a couple of 
others.

Today, however, while our leaders have failied to do so, the people have 
shown tremendous maturity in difficult times.  The people of Kosova have 
shown that they deserve independence and we do not need to rely on "favors" 
that a communist Albanian goverment gave.  Today, we need to lay off me damn 
communist mentality of being over-political and over-paranoid.  Today, we 
need to rely on our films, poems, engeeniers, doctors, scientists and 
professionals of all fields to represent everything that is good about our 
culture.  Do this right and the world will take note of us.


P.S.  Not to leave with some kind of semi-radical statment but in the 
meantime all Albanians should be banned from studying political sciences or 
anything related to it and hopefully in 50-100 years we will get rid of the 
handicapped communist mentality.

Cheers.
