>>"........regarding Kosovar for the ethnically homicidal tendencies of the racist government led by Mr. Milosevic."<< Excuse me..... but the last time I looked the Kosovars and Serbs were both Caucasian. The primary difference is the Kosovars are Muslims and the Serbs are Christians. Muslims believe that Christians are infidels and Christians believe that Muslims are crazy. Jim

>Are you one of those guys who turned tail and ran from your civic responsibilities back a few decades just because your personal beliefs were in conflict with the US government's position vis-a-vis South Vietnam back then? < Is it really a civic duty to give yourself up for an undeclared war (unconstitutional) in a far off place because a draft (also unconstitutional) got you? Not to mention that service in that meat grinder was a complete waste and for naught. Seems to me one could argue the opposite: The position taken by Mohammed Ali could be seen as the highest example of civic duty...prison. Those who ran to Canada or kept their college deferment at all costs are in a similar class tho not necessarily a bad one. Those who went along with their draft orders were unfortunate victims and those who volunteered were unfortunate dupes.
