Gustave, I have pointed out again and again on this newsgroup how hypocritical it is of NATO to complain about the behavior of Yugoslavia (a non-member nation) when one of its own members, Turkey, continues to practice ethnic cleansing, genocide, and ethnic suppresion against one of its ethnic groups, the Kurds. Quite frankley, the Kurds are deserving of nationhood. They qualify for nationhood in virutally every way except that when the old British Empire drew up the lines for nations such as Iraq and Kuwait, they did not give the Kurds their own land. There probably was a reason for this but I don't know what it was. But then hypocracy is not something new to the British, after all, they are at virtual war with an ethnic group (Northern Irish Catholics) and crush the goal of self-determination with a ferocious military presence. -John
