Why is Boris Yeltsin Kvetching?
By MICHAEL R. ALIX
NetJazz Correspondent
April 12, 1999

Last week the Russian bear began to growl in earnest and it wasn't only ulcers and a poor rating at the polls that was giving him indigestion. Yeltsin, the presumed supporter of democracy and "openness" -- inherited in part from his precursor Gorbachev -- has been kvetching loudly against the West and NATO. At a Duma (lower house) meeting he has even warned of the possibility of world war. The news justifiably causes ripples of alarm among the nations of the Western alliance.

Wasn't it Sarajevo in 1914 that lit the spark that ignited World War I? Indeed, a Serb threw the bomb that motivated Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia, which led to a face-off of coalition nations that lasted four years, and also led, incidentally, to the formation of Yugoslavia. Will Yugoslavia now take the world down?
