Christopher,,, I respectfully disagree with you--- All of this refugee stuff and everything could easily be predicted by normal people who watched fights in a school yard, never mind the dudes they have working for them.... I have read in several places that it was in fact predicted by the military people and ignored.... <<All because we wouldn't>>>> That line tells me something,, I don't know if it says anything to you... To me it says we wanted to bomb-- knowing full well the consequences of so doing...

I'll try again---- <g> <<Hmmm. We intended that half a million Kosovans become refugees? >> YES,, we knew it would happen, we were even told by the military that it would happen... <<We intended that farm tractors be bombed and dozens of Kosovan civilians killed? >> Most definitely yes... How the hell do you drop bombs on unarmed civilians and say you did'nt know--- Just like shooting down that civilian airliner over the Gulf a few years ago-- All military air people said that that was an extremely suspect mistake.... << We intended that Russia retarget its missiles at Europe? >>> No surprise there---- << Pretty dumb intentions, I would say.>>> Certainly would appear that way to most people, but obviously not so dumb to the people who make these decisions.... <<The reality is that the "intended" consequences, if you go back about 27 days in the news, was that Milosovic would fold within one or two days. >> The reality is that that is what we were led to believe-- (the first drop of the bad news) They were warned once again by their own advisers that most definitely would not be the case... <<Go back and review what our stated goals and time table were. >>> State Schmated--- White man speak with fork tongue---- << we are in a mess with no way out except to totally destroy a former ally and its people, lay waste to an entire country, destroy tens or hundreds of thousands of lives, subject millions of people to food shortages and possible starvation, etc. >>> Well they've got you convinced--- << All because we wouldn't reach a reasonable diplomatic solution to a problem >>> There it is again---"We Wouln't" Why???--- let me guess----Hmmm,,, Because we didn't want to reach a diplomatic solution? << compared to Somalia, the Sudan, Rawanda, East Timor, Tibet, Pakistan, etc. only a handful of people had died>>> The US has no problem with these events-- would not be surprised at all to find the invisible hand of the CIA in there somewhere... << But is this REALLY worth the death and destruction we are locked into?>> Obviously it is to someone..... ------------------------------------------------------DJI+64
