[Filipino security forces leave for Kosovo and East Timor, where they'll be joined by the first Japanese troops deployed abroad since World War II: at the same time U.S. special forces and assault troops are fighting in the Phlippines; NATO-UNMIK armed and trained former KLA terrorists cum Kosovo Protection Corps personnel leave en masse to invade Macedonia, creating the pretext for a German-led military occupation of the nation; German troops are partially redeployed to Afghanistan, the first time since World War II that German soldiers are stationed outside of Europe; Bulgarian troops are sent to Afghanistan as U.S. air force personnel set up base in Bulgaria; the Czech military is deployed to Kuwait, the Romanian to Central Asia, the British SAS to Colombia and the world soon bristles with bayonets and armor. But it's always for a good reason: Supporting terrorism or opposing it. Defending a country's national sovereignty or overrriding it. Intervening on behalf of the alleged rights of a linguistic or cultural community (Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia) or contributing to its extermination (Turkey, Sri Lanka, Western Sahara). Always an excuse for war. Never an excuse for war.] Cebu Daily News (Philippines) 48 cops make sojourn to East Timor, Kosovo By Kathy I.
