More on the catastrophe Nato is continuing: Hungary finds air contaminated in wake of NATO strikes =========================================== BUDAPEST (Mon Jun 07 1999 16:35:11 UTC9 Itar-Tass) - Hungarian environmental experts have found considerable concentrations of oil refining chemicals and other contaminants in air samples obtained a few days ago with a mobile samping station deployed at Hungary's border with Yugoslavia. Environmentalists related the chemical emissions to NATO's air strikes on Yugoslavia's chemical factories. Media reports said many of substances registered in the air were health hazard, especially dioxins, or agents that released in a range of combustion processes and cause cancer. Residents of Szeged and other cities in southern Hungary were repeatedly warned over the past weeks about invasion of Hungary by dangerous chemicals after NATO's bombing of industrial sites in Serbia's province Vojevodina. Green groups demanded that the government publish the contamination data and urge NATO to stop raiding chemical productions in Yugoslavia.

I don't think one can hide behind political labels - such as 'left' (don't we have governments of the left in charge of Nato?) in considering this massive onslaught by Nato against civilians. The attacks in the camps by Albanians against gypsies, and the settling of scores yet to come will only serve to underline our folly in this area.

Recent articles published in the NYT and WP trying to sell what has happened in Kosovo as a victory are garbage. The goal of this adventure was to establish peace. We have little to show for this episode other than death and misery for civilians, widespread destruction, thousands of refugees, no peace possible between returning Albanians and Kosovo Serbs, a discredited NATO, a US foreign policy in shambles, a new arms race, and the right to be looked upon as hypocrites each time we fail to apply the same whimsical Kosovo standards to other civil wars in the future. The consequences of Kosovo will mark the the peak of an on-going fiasco in US foreign policy .
