<<Perhaps, though, if dictators were more worried about having to account for their actions, they would commit less crimes against their own people.>> As a matter of fact the one's who consider eternal consequenses are more likely to worry about it.

Jamie Shea told reporters in Brussels. ''NATO has its finger on the light switch now,'' Shea said.

Who has its finger on Kosovars necks? Shea is a jerk and he is responsible for many lives no doubt... Robert can you at least share your thoughts (you ducked this so far) How many dead albanians? How many dead Serbian civilians you are willing to accept for getting rid of Slob and his wife? or is it as many as it takes as long as they are not americans?
