<< One can choose to take the moral high ground, or one can choose to fight barbarity with barbarity. >>

How can there be a moral high ground when it's "kill or be killed"?

<< The KLA has chosen a dubious path, and is as such, as guilty of crimes as Serbs. >>

As guilty? Is it "precise" to equate KLA actions, most in self defense, with the huge number of "deliberate" criminal acts, against civilians, committed by the Serbs?

Regardless, I enjoyed most of your note. It attempts to be very factual without significant insults. As you see by the portions of your note of which I choose to comment, you gave me very little to refute.

Will the KLA take the high ground in the future? Will they act as a responsible defense force for Kosovo? I don't have the answer to this yet, but they have gained a lot of respect from me for beating back the much larger and better equipped Serb forces (granted, with a little help from NATO). I guess when you are fighting for your life and home, you fight a little harder.
