Robert, I think NATO is being too soft on Serbia. We should be bombing hospitals, elementary schools, convents, churches, universities, restaurants, bars, day care centers, soccer games, picnic areas, camping grounds, parades, girl scout camps, etc, etc.

Actually, the logic of the war rhetoric requires this. This war is like WWII, according to Albright et al. Milosovich is Hitler. Well, if you really believe that than any means to defeat Yugoslavia are acceptable, including nuclear annihilation.

Of course, Albright et al. don't actually believe what they say.

And I guess Serbs in our own country should be interned if not killed. This is what kind of nonsense you descend into if you follow the rhetoric instead of the truth.

<< We should be bombing hospitals, elementary schools, convents, churches, ... >>

The fact that we are intentionally targeting only military targets shows that NATO is a humane military organization. How many military forces of the past have been so careful? Were Hitler's forces? How about Pol Pot's? Mao's? Stalin's? How about Slob Milosevic's forces? Are they trying to be humane?

You're funny. In your attempt to show how evil NATO is, you actually are showing how humane they are attempting to be.

<< If NATO puts their mind to it they should be able to kill 100,000 civilians a week. >>

Again, Slob Milosevic isn't trying to be humane in Kosovo. NATO is taking the high road and doing everything they can to avoid civilian casualties.

<< We must kill, kill, kill. Take no prisoners. >>

Actually, I agree with you. NATO must destroy all the Serb thugs in Kosovo. That is the only route to lasting peace. It is also fitting justice for the murders and rapes.

<< We should be carpet bombing Belgrade with incendiary bombs like we did to Dresden. >>

But, we are not, are we? We can be proud that Christian NATO is trying to save the Kosovo Muslims with as few casualties as possible. It makes one proud, doesn't it?!
