Kosovo's independence

Kosovo declared independence today, affirming the status that it has had since 1999 in all-but-name. The ethnic Albanians who comprise over 90 percent of the nation's populace suffered terrible discrimination under the brutal regime of Slobodan Milosevic, but the few Serbs who are left since NATO drove his forces out of the nation face terrible discrimination themselves.

Time to step up, Kosovo.
