>> Quite frankly any group that uses terrorism to attempt to take over land in a sovereign nation should be dealt with as much force as is required. um. So the guy who fired the "shot that was heard around the world" should have been mutilated and murdered in cold blood. His wife raped. One person's freedom fighter is another's terrorist. I don't know who is right or wrong in Kosovo, but the tactics of "ethnic cleansing" that serb use leave a bad taste in my mouth! I think some norms of decency should be followed even when putting down a local insurgency. The world would not have reacted if the Hutu hadn't massacred Tutsi quite the way they did. No one would have bombed Serbia yesterday, if the Serbs were not intent on burying 90% of the Kosovo population in a mass grave. Once a threshold is crossed, "internal affairs of a soverign nation" and "civil war" lose their meaning. Its an international affair from that point on.
