Do any of you really believe that the NATO bombing has anything to do with Kosovo? IMHO, it doesn't. The Kosovars are sacrificial pawns in the power game existing in the Balkans. We knew going in that Kosovo would be a lost cause irrespective of any outside action. Between the thugs of the KLA and the thugs from Belgrade, those poor bastards never stood a chance. They were caught in a turf war between the Serbs and Albanians. The U.S. etal seized the opportunity to attack Milosovic, using the excuse of preventing atrocities. Nonsense. In fact, we knew the bombing would accelerate those atrocities. Simply put, Milosovic is an imperialist and we have no use for him. He is dangerous to the U.S. and the rest of NATO. Albright has convinced Clinton that Kosovo would be the perfect excuse to go after Milosovic. With 50 civil wars going on around the world, many of which having taken a much higher human toll than Kosovo, ask yourself why we chose this one to flex our muscles. The answer is simple - security, stability and NATO (US) control of Europe. To have these, Milosovic needs to be severely weakened before he has the opportunity to go after Macedonia and other Yugoslav neighbors. We truthfully couldn't care less about ethnic cleansing, moral imperatives and all the other epithets designed to legitimize our actions. To believe anything else would be naive. When it comes to foreign policy, morality truly has no dominion. Sad, but true. But then what do I know?
