George, Kosovo has really turned into a "Garden Spot" under NATO. Just reading a list of crimes that have occured in the past week makes Grozny under the warlords look downright peaceful. Just to name a few: A Belgian KFOR officer robbed of his gun and ammo, a 15 year old Albanian shot and killed a Russian soldier who was escorting a Serb, an Albanian denied the opportunity to serve in the KFOR sponsored police force threw a grenade into the police station in Pristina, a fender bender between a Serb and Albainian turned into a fire- fight with 3 wounded, several humanitarian aid organ- izations reported robberies, the International Red Cross had an Albanian Gang demand to know "where the money was kept"...the list went on and on. The entire mission is a disaster! The Albanians of Kosovo are really showing their true colors. Of course, the media in the US does not tell Americans what is happening. Instead, they focus on other stuff to get our blood running. In the latest TIME Magazine they ran 2 articles, one on this Albanian chap who had part of his face blown off by a Serb during the war and how plastic surgeons are repairing his face, and the other on "The Second Kosovo War". In the script run by the author, NATO is going to intervene on behalf of the Albanians living in "Southern Serbia" and even gave a nice spin on the new rebel group: The Army to Liberate a couple of villages inside Yugoslavia...whatever their names are... Get ready for more cruise missiles. I wonder if the Russian technicians have the new A-400 antiaircraft rockets in place yet? This ought to make round duece interesting. -John
