nuke,

FYI, Three Croatian Generals were just indicted
into the War Criminals Hall of Fame for the acts
of "ethnic cleansing", "summary executions", and
indescriminate shelling of civilians during the
Croatian Civil War where several hundred thousand
Serbs were "cleansed", driven from their homes,
whatever, back in 1995. Bill Clinton actually
had a hand in this. He brokered a deal with
Croatian President Franjo Tudjman (an indicted
war criminal) and shipped through Croatia, 200
million dollars worth of weapons (in violation
of a UN and Congressional Arms Embargo) to the
Croats and Bosnian Muslims so that they could
destroy the Serb rebel armies in Bosnia and
Croatia. Clinton never even bothered to tell
Congress that he was doing this. The guy is an
arrogant son of a bitch. That war also resulted
in about 700,000 Serb refugees landing in Serbia.
This is probably one reason why they decided to
end the trouble in Kosovo and kick out the Muslims.
The whole situation is a mess and the actions of
NATO are only making it worse...

<<If I remember right, Krajina was more a purely military engagement, one of the few
times modern equipped military forces have faced each other since warfare started
in the Balkans eight years ago.>>

Serbia still hosts 500,000 serbian refugees from that "purely militarty engagement".

There are only 40,000 serbian troops in Kosovo, facing 20,000 (maybe more by now) KLA troops. And make no mistakes, those KLA characters are armed to their teeth by Iranians, and I wonder who else. They even have tanks, that they have captured during one of their raids on serbian military base a couple years ago. How do you characterze this engagement?
