>>I have not seen a single person not crying leaving Soviet Union for good in 70's...none ever came back<< goldsnow, those are not parallel situations at all, really. I personally have no stand whatsoever on whether Kosovo is/was a wonderful or a terrible place, but I do hear repeatedly from good sources that the refugees, at least those in Macedonia, emphatically want to return to their homes, even if they are burned down, in Kosovo. I am simply trying to be accurate. Raven

>>I have not seen a single person not crying leaving Soviet Union for good in 70's...none ever came back << Hi goldsnow, I read a quote from Lebed which went something like: "in a society there are the five percent who are the best and brightest, then the five percent who are unrepentant scoundrels; the other 90 percent do as they're told." My fear is that Russia lacks that "best and brightest 5 percent" from which they'll need to build the future. It's as if most of them may have already left, leaving only the "unrepentant 5 percent" and the "90 percent who do as they're told." What do you think? FWIW Andy
