NATO to protect border states from Serbs

<< NATO members have made clear they intend to undertake a rebuilding programme for Kosovo, which has been devastated by allied bombs and pillaging by Serb troops. Macedonia and Albania would also be likely beneficiaries.

Germany has called for a project on the scale of the Marshall plan that helped rebuild Europe after World War Two and suggested European Union membership should eventually be offered to Balkan countries. Some European countries also have called for debt relief for the region. >>

<< Remember Cuba 1962 --- also about boarding Russian ships >>

Yes, but I was at university and out on a co-op assignment in Northern Ontario at the time, so I missed a lot of it. We sure came close then.
