> First, the ethnic cleansing started well before the NATO bombing.Really, it started 10 years ago when autonomy was rescinded and ethnic Albanians were fired from jobs and the University started teching 'Serbian correct' stuff. Murders and Mass killings started wel befor the Bombing.
Yes the Albanians have been doing it for years to the Serbs. No wonder so many Serbs left Kosovo! Did you ever find the books that they were using in the University in Pristina? Directly edited by Hohza(sp?). These same books taught by professors straight from Tirana preaching the great cause of "Greater Albania". Murders and mass killings are common in the Balkans, have been going on for centuries. They intensified in Kosovo after the KLA bandits acquired weapons from Albania and from their drug running Mafia activities.
> The best outcome of this war would be a weak and smaller Serbia that would have to cooperate with neighboring countries to prosper.
Fact: The outcome of this war after the bombings started falling is an incredible humanitarian disaster of the people our leaders keep telling us that we are trying to save, strenghtened Milosevic's power, legitimized the extremist KLA "freedom fighters"/terrorists as the representatives of the Kosovars, complete destruction of the infrastructure and economic base of all of Yugoslavia (which, without massive aid, will in itself guarantee the killings to go on for centuries) and the incredible destabilization it has caused in our fragile world and finally, Nato bombs have killed nearly as many Serb civilians (in buses, trains, hospitals, schools, factories, water plants, bridges) as ALL casualties in Kosovo pre-bomb era!!!!!!!What the outcome would be? Hopefully they can come up with something to install some real peace to the region. Judging how they handled this mess this is highly unlikely.
> Unlike the recent past when neighboring countries have seen their progress held back by a Balkan country that is centrally located, dictatorial, hegemonistic and run by thugs.
I am sorry but we don't quite share the same views on this issue (which is pretty obvious<g>). But if you think the Serb leadership are "dictatorial, hegemonistic and run by thugs" and you think the KLA representatives are better you are GROSSLY MISTAKEN!
Anyway, this is a complete mess. I thank you for doing what you are doing.
Have a nice day. |
