A fun read ... American people unfit to govern: theonion.com === snippet But the final straw, Supreme Court justices said, came last week when none of the 500,000 random citizens polled were aware that Russian President Boris Yeltsin had threatened global thermonuclear war in response to NATO air attacks in Yugoslavia. "I mean, come on," Justice William Rehnquist said. "Global thermonuclear war? It's just ridiculous. There was just no way we could trust such a populace to keep running things after that." ===

Christopher--- Unfortunately, it seems quite possible that had we continued negotiation with greater Russian involvement we might have arrived at a formula that was mutually agreeable...We were offering to disarm the KLA... Had the force composition been different, so that there was greater trust that Serbian interests would be upheld, we might have worked it out...

Chris, Re: She wanted not only to win but to rub Milosovic's nose in it. Remember that last time UN blue helmets were operating in Bosnia-Herzegovina, it was the other way round: the Serbs used UN peackeepers as HOSTAGES and the whole world could watch them on CNN --tied to radar stations and other military facilities. Milosevic was eager to welcome UN peackeepers because he knew he'd be able to push them around in Kosovo --thanks to his ''police'' forces. BTW, how funny such a formulation is: the Serbian thugs who've been so brutally operating in Kosovo were merely police officers. Haha! To protect and to serve! What are LAPD, NYPD,... waiting for?? Time for them to swap their old-fashioned pistols for brand new AK-47s! Landmines could help them too --in containing South Central's and Bronx's ghettoes...
