yes, that time was interesting, reading and following news from both sides of the atlantic, as well as C-SPAN. Note, I'm not specifically talking about the later times of bombing the serbs, but the years much before that, when, for example, UN stepped in. One should, at a minimum, start with the croation issues on the "Tito-commonwealth" of Yugoslavia, although Croatia was just one part of it all, clearly a very complex situation from the very start of 1989. (one can even startrt from before 1989 when the region already was seen as a potential explosion) Ilmarinen

Btw, Pat Buchanan has, sometimes, some smart moments, although it does not happen very often. Ilmarinen To me one of his brightest moments was when he declared that "he is building a pre-election consensus within the republican party" as well as "at least activating all possible voters", somehow pointing to the extremes.. That is, this seem to include the "US-isolationists", historically famous from both before WW1 and WW2. (that is why the rest of world applaude when Bush II at least says he is going to "engage" UN, especially after he went into UN on his UNESCO knees for his first UN speech)
