No, you continue to read Chomsky if you wish, but after the first hundred or so repetitions of the same message cloaked in different verbage, he gets rather tiresome to me. I believe one of the points that D. Long was making and that should be evident to anyone above a fifth grade education is that both Russian and China have vested interests in seeing NATO fail in Yugoslavia. To have an entity such as Kosovo demand autonomy because they wish to have the freedom of self rule as opposed to being ruled by a brutally oppressive government, controlled by a hostile ethnic group would set a dangerous precedent for both Russian and China. Both countries would stand to lose at least a million square miles of land and all of the inherent resources contained in that land if such a precedent was carried over to their own regimes. Also, all of this "end of the Cold War" rhetoric to the contrary, nothing would suit China or Russia better than to see NATO fall on it's ass. Strangely, even though we now love them like the big overgrown teddy bears that they are, they still think of us as the enemy.
