"When winter comes, who will be responsible for these people?
Nobody!" said Vasil Tupurkovski, a possible contender for Macedonia's
presidency. "It will be very difficult to save people in winter conditions,
even more difficult than saving them from the Serbs."

Some Kosovo Albanians predict a crisis will come earlier, during a long,
hot summer of confinement, or, in the case of Macedonia, in response to
the hostility and fear of local authorities and a domestic population worried
that the refugees will permanently alter a precarious ethnic balance.>>>

"The Serbs are guilty," said Sahadete Ahmetaj. "NATO didn't know they attacked us."

Mrs. Palushi, whose daughter was killed, said she did not blame NATO either, though she said she exploded in anger when she took her son to a hospital in Prizren and a Serbian doctor told her: "You wanted NATO to help you. Look what they did."


I think people who believe NATO is intentionally bombing civilians in Kosovo should pay special attention to this article.

Using civilians as human shields is a war crime. Placing civilians in a position of imminent danger is a war crime. It demands a response, either political or military.

Though the losses are tragic, the Kosovars have no doubt who to place the blame upon and it is clearly the Serbs who will reap the whirlwind of their revenge should they fail to exit the region.

And even in the event that this is a fabrication, do you think the Kosovars will believe the Serbian version over the NATO one??

Not a friggin' chance when you have hundreds of thousands of Kosovars either in forced exile or refused permission to flee the region as haunting evidence of Serb inhumanity.

Thanks for the link Raven.
