> I guess sometimes it depends upon a high level of atrocities, such as what is happening in Kosovo right now.< I guess 1/2 million ain't enough huh? ZAIRE Where do you start ... with Hutu killing Tutsi, or Tutsi killing Hutu? To understand the escalating crisis in Eastern Africa, you have to start somewhere. Many, for the sake of simplicity, point to the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, where Hutus massacred at least half a million Tutsis. A Tutsi-led rebel army took over the country, and Hutus fled to Rwanda's border with Zaire. from: radio.cbc.ca

Koresh finally ended it by killing and burning the same children that the US was trying to save. Oh, so you are arguing that Koresh started the fires? No wonder you have such a bizarre attitude toward the Balkans. No, I didn't support Koresh, but we sure killed a lot of innocent people in the process of solving him. And there will always be another Koresh, just as there will always be another civil war in Serbia, no matter what we do. It's been going on for many times longer than we have been a country; it was going on before Columbus crossed the ocean; it will be going on when the United States has follwed the Roman, British, and all other Empires into the dust of history. But it sure makes you feel good now to drop bombs on hospitals and schools, doesn't it?
