First find out if an army of willing soldiers can be raised from amongst the refugees. If so, then train them, arm them, and give them air support for a counterattack to re-take Kosovo IMO, and according to the best reports available, there is no lack of recruits to join the KLA. And contrary to criticisms that the KLA are a bunch of drug-running Marxists, I suggest that certain previous political leaders are being pushed aside in favor of their new leader who was formerly a very experienced and talented Croatian General. The problem, as I see it and what I would be worried about, is just how to control the "genie" once you let him out of the bottle. Right now NATO is trying to convince Milo that soon the KLA will become so strengthened, and the Serbs so weakened, that they will physically take Kosovo from the Serbs and open up Kosovo to becoming part of Albania and encouraging the "greater Albania" cabal. This will then cause pressure on Greece and Macedonia, both of which have Albanian populations. NATO doesn't need Albanians to start stirring up the same ethnic problems that the Serbs have causing. And they need to make the KLA a credible force without letting the movement get completely out of control and independent of NATO's agenda. Quite a delicate display of political juggling. Regards, Ron
