click over to Ebay, there are some real bargains on yellow ribbons...u know support our troops and all of that while $1mil missiles bomb downtown Belgrade!

By the way I do support our troops but I blame our reckless leaders for putting them in the Balkan circus!

LOL! I'm having too much fun with your assumptive pigeon holes about me. A definite maybe no and maybe yes, but only partially- well actually it's just not me at all.

Nevertheless, we don't think backwards on how the POWs got there or must we- staying mired in blaming? Sooner or later planning, thinking and acting or not must take over.
I have no confirmations either way on KLA. Heard colorful 'info' though, in various places.

All I really care about in all of this is it's turning out to be a lesson learned from the holocaust quite possibly after all. Amazing, the power of nationalism, borne of religion, left unchecked, maybe the apocalypse is a self fulfilling prophecy after all. It's funny, I used to just understand the world was headed for overpopulation, and anything like a year of world celibacy would help, even dared to think of this kind of thing for that purpose, as a course of fate.

I found an overcoming love for humanity again, seeing images of the scared refugees. I have never seen such helplessness, it really stirred up emotions I have not felt for a good long time. Especially images of them being stuffed tearful on trains. But it's different this time. Many of them will live, if only to fight again in some instances. But I found I cared about many others surviving, for the first time in a very long time.
