#2 Okay, this was done the EU way right? Got all the "allies" lined up and agreed, right? No nasty US unilateralism here, right? UN all on board, right? (okay, forget that one)

Therefore there is no quagmire and everyone in Kosovo is happy, healthy, well employed and sitting around after makiing friends with their former enemies and singing Kumbya, right?

Anyone taken a poll lately as to how the Kosovars and Servians see the results of THEIR invasion?

#4 Actually we went in and bombed them until Serbia said 'uncle'. The Clinton had the UN/NATO/Russian take over and this is what we got out of it. The 'plan' was to separate the sides long enough that they like peace too much to wage war. They forgot that the Serbs were/are being abused by their Muslim-Albanian countryman. I bet there are more than a few ex-taliban wondering around Kosovo. Yes clearly another Clinton foreign policy âvictoryâ that stood the test of time!

#5 Don't make me go Black & White Sarge :) I'm getting close as it is.

Aris which side do you take with these jackasses?

#6 Shipman> I didn't take sides in the Kosovo affair -- I thought that these were two chauvinisms/imperialisms that both tried to nationally cleanse the other. Equally vile.

I opposed the bombings and still feel that the bombings and support to UCK ended up leading to further war in FYRO Macedonia, since UCK used Kosovo as a base to launch further terrorist attacks -- not to mention the encouragement to Albanian separatists throughout the region.

Ofcourse, it's *possible* that the Serbs would have gone genocidal on the Albanians if the NATO bombings hadn't happened, but that hadn't occurred nor was there any certainty it would have occurred.

#7 Always thought that had Milosevic kept or reassumed the 'communist' mantle instead of the nationalist one, Kosovo would've been a 15-minute story, briefly regretted and soon forgotten.
