Tim,,, It upset me that the Chinese element on this thread were so quickly attacked when they voiced their concern about the embassy thing... The fact that the pro bombers could not even step away from their prejudices for a brief moment is assinine....

Hi Tim, wether those poor people were killed by NATO or by the Serbs, unfortunately, the result is the same, and the killings will continue with every day the bombing goes on, with no end in sight, as a ground intervention is either not possible or not wanted. NATO's intransigeance on the conditions of a cease fire is the logical result of speeches made by people like Blair who do not want to look like fools. It is not smart politics, as it does not take the reality of the "hostage-crisis" situation we are in. The harder NATO bombs, the more civilians die, the less moral legitimacy for the operation. It is a losing battle. NATO should cut their losses and get humanitarian organizations in Kososvo as fast as possible. Milosevic will never give up : NATO told him they would fry him wether he does or he doesn't.

NATO admits it was bombing the area, and American warplanes were seen Friday attacking targets nearby, but Pentagon officials insisted they were not dropping cluster bombs. And at Korisa, there were no telltale craters or pockmarks that a cluster or any NATO bomb or missile would leave behind. I was looking for this same kind of evidence in some of the footage I viewed. This is what causes me to call into question NATO's responsibility for this bombing. Cluster munitions and thousand pound bombs leave distinct damage signatures. And we have to call into question the reported decision by the local Serb commander to permit those Kosovar Albanians to seek haven in an area under enemy attack. And American commander would be strung up on charges for a similar action in which civilians were permitted into a battlezone. Regards, Ron
