Kosovo Declares Independence

[razorsharp]

<p>

Major European powers said Monday they would recognize Kosovo a day after the province’s ethnic Albanian leaders declared independence from Serbia and the U.S. also backed the move.</p>

<p>Kosovo’s leaders sent letters to 192 countries seeking formal recognition and Britain, France and Germany endorsed the declaration. But other European Union nations were opposed, including Spain which has battled a violent Basque separatist movement for decades.

Is Kosovo’s independence a good thing? Or will it just result in another muslim country that will ultimately hate America and Western culture?</p>
