>>>Anyway, this isn't the place to argue this, and I suggest we just agree to disagree.<<< When did CLOWN-FREE develop standards for political discussion? <ggg> >>>You don't seem to have a very good grasp of the facts here. Bush didn't suggest that Russia recognize Kostunica, Gore did.<<< I think you misuderstood my point. I was still responding to mediation issue. Bush clearly suggested it was time for Milosevic to go and I believe he thought the Russians would demand the same thing if asked to mediate. That would require them to recognize Kostunica on this recent election go-around. He's unaware of the nuances. The Russia military favors Milosevic (which matters.) Milosevic doesn't want Putin or a representative involved (afraid they might discover the truth about the vote count.) It was foreign policy error on the part of Bush to ask for Russian mediate. >>>At any rate, it's an internal struggle that they are going to have to work out without US military intervention, that's the big picture.<<< I agree. I don't recall that either candidate suggested US military intervention in regards to this election issue.
