SkyNews is reporting that Serbian police have said they found a burned body in the US Embassy. I wonder who it is. I would hope that all of the US citizens working there would have gotten the hell out before the "peaceful protest" was scheduled to start.

Masked attackers broke into the U.S. compound, which has been closed this week, just after 7 p.m. and tried to throw furniture from an office.
And in more tragic news of this news event:

Groups also broke into a McDonald's restaurant and demolished the interior.

I hate politics, but isn't independance a good thing? I know that you loose financial support from the original govering power, and unless the new political power is dictatorship or comunisim, I have no idea why they would be so upset. I'll have to read more to see what's going on.....

The Serbs consider Kosovo to be the cultural and religious heart of Serbia, and feel that the ethnic Albanians who are the majority there have no rights to it.

Perhaps it's kinda how the Lakota feel the Black Hills are the cultural and religious heart of the Sioux Nation, with us majority pale skins having no rights to it.
