nuke44,

good to see you still around... I have tried not to respond to you because it is obvious that we do not agree and we are both not going to change our minds...<g>

Just a couple of comments on your post which I believe is mostly false (and you think so likewise of my posts too, so we are even).

> Since the revocation of Kosovo autonomy in 1989 by Slobodan Milosevic there
has been a steady push to drive the remaining ethnic Albanians out of what
remained of Kosovo. The NATO attacks in April were in response to Milosevic's
version of a "final solution" to the ethnic cleansing of Kosovo that had started
almost immediately following Tito's death.

Nonsense...The Yugoslav authorities were fighting the ruthless KLA bandits whose terrorist activities greatly increased after 1997 when they got their hands on some cheap weapons when Albania became a mad circus...I do not see any association between the Serbs and the Nazi's "final solution"...If there was a "final solution" it was greatly aided by the bombing to permanently alter the ethnic makeup of the province.

> The Serbs claims on Kosovo as "Serbian holy ground" are only a propaganda front
for their real motives. Kosovo, as it stands today, holds almost three quarters of
Yugoslavia's mineral wealth. Gold, silver, lead, tin, iron and more are the
Milosevic's real "Holy grail".

Of course the natural resources there is a BIG factor. You add that to its history and the numerous religions and cultural treasures and you see why these people are willing to get bombed for over two months by Nato...

That's all.
