> But please don't insult my intelligence with this "alleged" rape crapola. I don't know who you mean to demean: me or yourself. I did not mean to insult your intelligence. To me all of these stories are "alleged"...all designed to portray the Serbs as the evil so the cowardly bombing can go on for the lack of any better alternative. I also did not mean to demean anyone. > Serbian operations are not directed against terrorists only. In fact, they are directed predominantly against the civilian populace of their own country, according to their race. This makes them terrorists themselves, and far worse, because when the State has given way to lawlessness, the nation is bound to sink into barbarity, as has happened here. Serbian operations have always be directed against terrorist up until the bombing started. When the sovereignty of a nation is threatened under a state of war, all bets are off...as they would be in any other state including this one. As cruel as it sounds they are solving the problem by shifting the population along ethnic lines. This has been done before many times (after WWII, Israel, Turkey etc.)b and it will provide for the FUTURE stability of the region...How could these people live together now when one side has been asking for the enemy NATO to bomb their own country Yugoslavia? Aren't they traitors? Traitors are executed, the Serbs let them leave because it is obvious they do not want to be part of Yugoslavia and let them join their brothers in Albania... "you want nato you go to nato"...If Nato was so concerned about their humanitarian plight they would have solved this in the negotiating table, invaded Kosovo... instead they chose the cowardly bombing solution...

<< Yeah, the propagandists in the mainstream US news media are disgusting and intolerable. >> Mainstream US news backs up many of their stories with actual pictures and footage. If people don't like what the newscasters are saying, they should turn off the sound and just watch the pictures. There are a lot of newscasters that jump at the chance to show our government making mistakes. A society is not free without a free uncensored press. << ... because when the State has given way to lawlessness, the nation is bound to sink into barbarity, as has happened here. >> The thought of the hundreds of thousands of Kosovo Albanians, evicted from their homes, and at the mercy of the Serbs, is horrifying! These poor people must be in danger of starving or freezing to death. Plus, any men, women or children with health conditions, like diabetes, must really be in misery right now. It's easy to say "Never Again", but when a brutal dictator like Slob Milosevic gains power, and many of his Serbian people are willing to commit atrocities, it is difficult to stop them.

The obvious conclusion is that what is happening is what was wanted. Any other conclusion makes the US out as stupid.. I don't think so.... .DJ+94 >SPZ+8.35
