When(if) the Kosovars do start to return, there will be massive amounts of money needed to rebuild homes, schools, hospitals, infrastructure, etc. Anybody want to guess how much of that money (a) will be provided by the U.S. taxpayers, and (b) how much of that money and aid will be siphoned off by politicians, the black market, etc. before it reaches the people in need? This thing ain't over by a LONG shot. Clinton will be long gone, and so will his successor (maybe more than one successor) before we stop paying for this little wag-the-dog excursus.

It ain't over until there is no longer any organized resistance to throwing out the Kosovar Albanians. The KLA will likely maintain that resistance for years to come. Milosevic has left a legacy of continuing conflict on the Serbian/Albanian border. Sure some will move elsewhere, but it will not be over for these people. Now the Serbs must decide if that is the future they want for themselves. A future of constant terrorist attacks against their society until they finally resolve the problem. Israel is still trying to deal with "its" ethnic problem with the Palestinians. And the Albanian fighters, trained in the same small unit tactics as the Serb forces (they served in the same military) are not going to be easy to quash. Regards, Ron
