Thank you for sharing your honest feelings, Doctor Sennett. The Colombine HS thing is just as sick as our unecessary involvement in the Yugo civil war, but totally unrelated. There were mechanisms in place to identify these sick boys well before they became criminally insane, but the system allowed for ineffective leadership of the various agencies that should have identified their desease. A lot of local politics, influenced by State politics, which in turn were influenced by Federal politics. The agencies that over-saw these boys' earlier juvenile detention time (related to earlier crimes) chose to hire people who would simply turn in reports that met statistical requirements. The agencies involved in their "treatment" simply glazed over their greater problems because it was not politically acceptable to be critical of white youth offenders who were nothing more than "boys being boys" (their feelings, not mine). A second year psych student could have seen this coming. Bringing a bomb on campus sufficient to blow the whole school up, then killing as many "jocks" and minorities as they could before the bomb went off, then killing themselves, all on Hitler's birthday, was an aboration. Most of the 18 high school shootings in the US over the last 2 years were effected by suicidal children. This problem is far too loosely related to Clinton's way too liberal attitude. I foresee HS campus police in the short term, just like all US Universities and colleges have campus police forces. On Kosovo, Clinton is wagging the dog. Period. A 600 year old religion-based civil war, half a world away, has nothing to do with our 200 year-old country. If everyone in Kosovo were Orthodox Christian, they would not be kicked out. It has nothing to do with "ethnic" cleansing, and every thing to do with Muslim-cleansing. Clinton will appear on talk shows for 30 years after "retirement", and he is desperate to create something else to be interviewd about, other than receiving felatio from, and sticking cigars into the school-girls in his office. The fact that so much of the US public doesn't get these facts is what prompts my comment that "my country is sick". Greg
