Mob Burns U.S. Embassy in Belgrade, Attack British Embassy
As police deliberately hung back, hooligans attacked the U.S. embassy, burning part of it. They also attacked the British embassy, and -- McDonald's. In the way of thugs masquerading as political activists, the mobs immediately set to looting the stores of their own countrymen.
The Serbian hate for Kosovo, and the agitation supplied by government leaders, signals another conflict in that region. And everything old is new again: World War I was triggered by the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand in that region.
The Marines are standing guard at the U.S. embassy, which is not currently staffed in the current dangerous crisis. The days of violence have escalated, with masked riot leaders, presumed to be professional mob leaders, spotted in the crowds.
The violence in Belgrade and other areas has been ongoing since Kosovo declared independence and the U.S. recognized that statement. The Serbs have a long history of violence against Kosovo.
Two days ago, Serbs set fire to two border crossings and attacked journalists.

Whale Wars, Race Wars: Japanese Video Accuses Aussies of Racism
Australia and Australians are showing "racist ideology....xenophia, white supremacy" and are "instigating hatred" against Japan by protesting Japan's plans to kill 1,000 whales this year The hard-hitting video assault was released by Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan.
Springboarding off the Cronulla race riots and the killing of dingos, the video is shocking in its accusations. Note: we are presenting this as news, and in no way do we condone or support such accusations.
The whaling issue has spawned demonstrations and a great deal of passion in Australia. Here's some necessary background on the issue.
