>Do you wonder why the Serbs expelled most of the foreign journalists and the remaining few have Serb secret police watching them 24 hours a day. If we were bombed by a foreign country do you really believe our government would not kick their journalists out? Last time we were bombed we locked up the whole Japanese population...Hello?? Meantime I heard the State Department spokesman James Rubin speak on CNN Larry King live...every third and fourth word was terrible terrible.... Our media has had too much OJ and Monica...it's sad! FWIW George

One version of the events: It looks like the Serb policy is to force as many ethnic Albanians as possible to leave Kosovo and kill as many prominent Albanians as they can get their hands on. Then they may call for negotiations. In the wake of a catastrophic refugee problem and a 90%- Serb-controlled Kosovo, Milosevic will agree to negotiations. Nato will be relieved that they don't have to send in ground troops and we will see bickering over the division of Kosovo for months or maybe a year. Serbia will keep the bulk of the province and the rest will be a Nato protectorate.

I would tend to expell foreign journalists too if they were constantly slanting things in favor of NATO creating a blood thirst in the West. The CNN correspondant there babbles "ethnic cleansing" and "genocide" every other sentence. >>You will get your REAL proof months from now when they dig the >>Albanian Kosovar's bodies out of the shallow graves you moron! If asking for evidence makes me a moron then so be it. We are trying and convicting an entire nation without real evidence; not exactly a intelligent thing to do. Also, let's not forget the KLA cleansing of the Kosovo Serbs via terrorism that lead to this expulsion; they are far from the innocent victims. They had autonomy from 74-89 but completely abused it demanding separation and committing terrorist acts. I also like to point out that land ownership is 70% Serbian, 30% Kosovo Albanian. Does over-populating a region give an ethnic group the right to take that region ?
