"You may justify violence based on your hypothetical scenario but, fortunately for us the US and the EU are not making decisions based on somebody's dream world.

I make no justifications on violence or any other harsh measures. I wish I could say that the "hypothetical scenario" and "dream world" you accuse me of having was little more than the product of a careless imagination, but you know as well as I that there's more than enough evidence to point to Albanians in Kosovo being just as hostile towards Serbs and no better in ethnic co-existence. If Serbs visiting graves still need to be escorted by KFOR soldiers, if churches continue to be robbed, and if Serb returnee homes continue to be conveniently set on fire, then Albanians are not all that interested in seeing Serbs return to their midst, so let's dispense with assumptions we know aren't there.
Now I can't really say I understand, or even agree with, the severity these Serbs are approaching the issue of just 5 Albanian houses being built in northern Kosovo. One would like to think that for all the hype Serbs like to make on northern Mitrovica being more multiethnic than its southern half, and Albanian graves in the north not being touched whereas Serbian graves to the south have all but disappeared, that this should be a testament to Serbs' alleged acceptance of all communities. But it's apparently not, and I do suspect that there's more than just simple anger at Albanian families returning to the region. But you can't possibly think that Albanian communities, based on what has happened over the last 10 years and what most objective observers know, are going to be any less hostile to Serbs returning to their homes, and you can't possibly think that a group of Serbs armed with building materials and setting out for the center of southern Mitrovica is not going to cause alarm among the Albanians in the area. To think that, based on all we know and all that has happened, is an insult to your intelligence. To berrate me for not thinking likewise is an insult to mine.
