Absolute poppy cock. Now, Kosovo is a uni-ethnic society, where advocating that the
Rugova faction of Kosovar nationalism (nevermind ethnic tolerance) be considered
benign can cause you to wonder why your heart isn't beating any more.
8 nationalities lived under Milosevic's "occupation", now one does. And the people of
that nationality are jack-booted in line while the population is having all of their
resources plundered. Milosevic, to quote FDR, "may have been a son of a bitch, but
he's our son of a bitch". The KLA, a creation of the CIA and German intelligence
(among others), is one of the most fascistic grouplings in Europe. Under Milo, Kosovo
lost political autonomy (an autonomy where Kosovar Albanian nationalists could hold
up the entire workings of the Federal state), but not cultural autonomy. It remained
politcally legal to have radio stations operate in Albanian, mosques were open, etc.
This is definitively NOT the case for Serbs, Romas (Gypsies), Goransis, Hungarians,
Jews, Czechs, Croats etc. who lived there a few months ago. The one's who are still
alive are 98% in deeper Serbia, where tolerance reigns in comparison. Over 100 000
Albanians lived unmolested by Serbs in Belgrade during a war *against the very people
that were being bombed for ostensibly being violators of human rights*.

Some freedom.
