U.S. Miscalculations Traced to Albright << State Department officials dispute the notion that Kosovo is "Albright's war," as one said it has been called. Nevertheless, the NATO pounding of Yugoslavia embodies bedrock principles of Albright's view of the world. Born in Czechoslovakia and twice a refugee as a child, Albright believes that the United States and its allies must unite to check aggression, especially in Europe, because they will be drawn into wider conflicts if they do not. She also has said many times Milosevic represents a last vestige of a nondemocratic Europe that was plagued by war for much of this century, and that his record shows he will destabilize a large swath of the continent unless bottled up. >> washingtonpost.com Morning Lorne, Saw a comment on TV yesterday that really hit home ... They said that in the low-level civil war in Kosovo before these strikes, 1000 people per year were being killed ... about the number of murders that occur each year in some US cities! ... Now we have this human disaster. Not sure if it wag the dog or not, but this is the fourth time that Slick and Ms 'Not-so-bright' have used cruise missile diplomacy in the last 12 months. ( Afghanistan, Sudan, Iraq and Yugoslavia). I agree with helping the refugees and doing it properly ... after all we are participating in the bombing and helped create this mess. John
