For those of you living under a rock...

Kosovo declared independence- and some people are not happy about it.

The usual suspects don't like this- the Russians and the Chinese. It's not that they don't like freedom (maybe they do, maybe they don't). It's just that Kosovo becoming an independent nation itself can prove to be a dangerous precedent for Chechenia or Tibet to declare its own independence from Russia and China respectively.

The Serbians are unhappy of course. They rioted in front of the US embassy in Belgrade- the aftermath resulting in a body found in the embassy I believe.

Between Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East, we'll see a lot of new borders being drawn in our lifetimes.
