We should not be accepting any refugees from the Kosovo crisis, it will just encourage more to leave, and cause animosity from those who didn't get the magical refugee card.

X,

Unfortunately, we the people, do not have a CLUE why we are there..
We pick and choose a region for strategic reasons... Not humanitarian
reasons that our intervention is ALWAYS couched in...

Maybe we want to COMPLETELY destabalize the Region down to Caspian
Sea for energy reasons. Maybe we want to revive the military-industrial complex that was losing importance since the cold war died down.. I already hear and see comments about Raytheon, Boeing etc..
Pesonally, I would never touch these type of issues.. Never have, Never will.

Maybe it was.. ??... One thing I believe is that these interventions are calculated for whatever reasons and are probably pretty well on
track.. The problem IMO is that one day, one these excursions will go dreadfully wrong and the consequences will be devastating ..

Just my thoughts and best wishes .. Coug
