The best defense is to disarm the government and arm the people.
For the cost of one cruise missle, arms could have been provided to
every family member over the age of 8 in Kosovo. You tell me how
willing Serbian rebels would have been to invade villages *knowing*
that every household was well armed! And the same goes for the other
side too.
It's hard to pillage and rape when you can be shot for even showing your
face.
In this day & age of the US gov'ts trying to disarm the people, one town
-- and one town only -- has had a 75% drop in burglery, rape, break ins
to homes, etc. It is a small town that *requires* every household to
have at least one loaded gun at all times.
l.d.
P.S. I'm still running for President of the USA. But it will have to
be a write-in vote, since I can't get on any ballots and no recognized
political party wants anything to do with a "violence preaching radical"
such as I.
