Chalu2:<<dictator Milosevic to the Kosovars who are in a position to carry out democratic reforms,>>
Milosevic was elected to his office.
Your efforts to make the Albanian Kosovars seem like heroes are misplaced, IMHO. They were certainly oppressed, but I can see how the Serbians would be disturbed to see their territory colonized by an adjacent state...colonized (especially in the last 20 years) to the point where the Slavs were becoming a minority in their own province.
I'm no Serbian sympathizer, personally I'd wish a pox on the whole d*mn area...I saw an interview with a member of one of the ethnic groups in which the person was furiously explaining how their village had been looted, burned, and the women raped. He was referring to something that had happened 500 years before. Those people seem to teach hatred - and when given the chance, act it out by killing their neighbors...and that seems to be common to all the various ethnic groups. That's one of the reasons we should never have gotten involved.
Our troops were supposed to have been out of Bosnia by Christmas of the first year of insertion...they're still there. Kosovar doesn't look to be any different. The Nato governments (except for Clinton and his lapdog, Blair) didn't want to get involved, and only acceded to BC's urging after a well planned deluge of media exposure, prominently featuring the sad-eyed visage, and mournful voice, of Ms Amanpour(sp?). Being politicians first and foremost, they were worried that they'd be perceived as heartless if they didn't intervene. It makes no sense from a military standpoint, and in the long run, IMHO, will come back and haunt us. |
