Vlad, I'm not supporting Miloshevich and his policy. No way. I strongly beleive that what he is doing is wrong. Kosovo has to get independence, if that is what they want. Don't misunderstand me. However, masacring serbian cities and villages by jets and bombers is not the best solution to the problem. Leaving serbian families without homes to put albanian families back in their homes is not a solution. Something else could have been done. They could have flooded the region with UN and NATO troops, apply all kinds of economic pressure, something else, but not bombers. IMO, there is more to this war than we see.

>>"If the Serbs allowed democratic rule then Kosovo would indeed be an independent state. The Albanian Kosovars are by far the majority and they want their own state. It's no different than what the Slovanians, Croatians, Bosnians and Macedonian wanted and got. Notice that the former republics that were furthest away from Belgrade were able to establish independence the quickest. I eventually expect to see an independent Montenagro and Kosovo. "<< Absolutely amazing..........that is exactly what the Confederacy and Robert E. Lee wanted for the South in 1860. But Lincoln would not allow them to become an "independent state" so he sent the Union army in to slaughter them and bring them to their knees. General Sherman thought he was performing a public service by burning Atlanta to the ground. Jim
