don't you think that the bombing is accelerating the current exodus and plight of the refugees?

As far as the definition of genocide:

>destruction of a racial group

I see a sea of refugees pretty much intact in desperate need of bread and toilets from their NATO liberators.

>destruction of a political group

I hope the KLA terrorists are finished so more moderate Albanian leaders can represent their people. To remind you the moderate Albanians had been executed and then, miraculously, came back to life.

>destruction of a cultural group

They can now all create their culture in Albania, hopefully with the help of their liberators.

Why don't you lobby your government to rescue some of them and place them at your neighborhood if you feel so bad about them. If you ask them where would they want to go they would probably respond by "Anywhere but Albania"
