Chris,

If Samantha had done a bit more research, she would have discovered a
different pattern and written a much more impressive book...

So superficial.  What about the imperialists' active vested interest in
the break-up of Yugoslavia, to get rid of the model of non-aligned socialism
and to get access to the oil pipeline corridor connecting central Europe to
Central Asia (->Afghanistan) ?  What about the U$ armaments and military
training supplied to the "freedom fighters" in Yugoslavia, including
ol' friend Osama's mujaheddin who helped their Muslim brothers in the
Kosovo Liberation Army and its equivalent in Bosnia ?

If Samantha had done a bit more research, she would have discovered a
different pattern and written a much more impressive book...
