<< Mr. Barry, Excuse me- You called the KLA heroes??? Are you lost of your senses? >> The KLA fought valiantly for the freedom of their families, who were facing genocide. Is this not heroic? They were outgunned and outmanned. They could have taken revenge against the Serbs and destroyed the Serb churches. The Serbs destroyed Albanian places of worship. The KLA had enough principles to honor the religion of all Serb people. << They accomplished nothing militarily- >> Nothing? The KLA had engaged the Serbs the entire time. At the end, the reinforced KLA had been driving the Serb murderers out into the open where NATO could hit them with bombs. Nothing? They were outmanned and outgunned. Still, they fought bravely for their families, and wound up helping to drive the child killing Serbs out of their land. Nothing? << ... and they have ties to Bin Laden and traffic heroine in Europe- are you calling drug traffickers heroes???? >> Tough times call for strange bedfellows. The US was an ally of Stalin and Russia during WWII. The US was an ally of Bin Laden during the time Russia was trying to destroy the culture and economy of Afganistan. The KLA were heroes, but mostly to the Kosovo Albanians. If you don't believe this, ask most Kosovo Albanians.
