It's tough to hold down true faith with atheistic tenets...

Who are those brigades fighting against?.. Civlian Kosovars! So far
two parallel wars has been going on. NATO against Serbians, and
and Serbians agaisnt civilian Kosovars, i.e.KLA.

I did say that neither diplomacy nor bombing will be effective unless an invasion-capable ground force is deployed>> Correct! He respects
force and show of force will change his mind. He knows that if allies
invade, he will loose the Kosovo forever. He maybe crazy, but not stupid!
As long as it isn't a US protectorate.>>

I am afraid you will be disappointed. We will have a US protectorate!

In point of fact Islamic fundamentalism has been a more effective check on Russian>>

Agreed. This is the reason that Carter Admin. abandoned a friendly Shah in favor or a hostile Khomeini! IF not Iranian Azerbaijan would
have gone to Russians, and would have gotten Russians too close to the Persian Gulf and the world major supply of Petroleum.

To Steven Rogers and All,

just heard a great news on RAI-1, that is the official voice of
Italain government! The Italian ambassador to Belgrade (that was
recalled to ROme 60 days ago for consultation and is back in Belgrade)
has been told by the Serbian foreign ministery that they now fully
agree to Chenomyerdin's Nato terms, including NATO led force and withdraw of Serbian armed forces! A agreement is due
to be officially signed by the end of next week!

I don't know what to think of this!
