<< ... in order to get an agreement very similar to the one that the Serbs were willing to sign in the first place, because of stupid intransigence. >>

Perhaps so, but what would an agreement signed by Slob Milosevic have been worth? Would this have been another "Chamberlain, Peace in our Time."?

<< ... so it is wrong to say that all of us who criticized the
President were against helping the Albanians, or that we didn't expect the bombing to "result" in an agreement
>>

I take the comment back. Your comment is correct, but there were not very many comments that were supportive of the Albanians or the NATO operation.

<< It is also wrong to say that only conservatives and Republicans have criticized the operation >>

True again. I'll take that comment back also. There are many other, more suitable conservative practices that can be attacked later.

Let the "Killing Fields" begin!!!

Now that the KLA has state power over Kosovo, you
can count on a bloody civil war sweeping the land
as the various factions battle for control of this
new nation. Just like the Khmer Rouge of Cambodia,
the KLA is made up of all kinds of bizzare factions,
all ready to slug it out to be the top banana. The
first faction has already lost, that of Ibrahim
Rugova, the pacifist that tried to cut a deal with
Milosevic. The KLA has already issued a death warrant
for him and his family. They have fled to Italy.
