An intervening third party (that's us) will only cause more hardship in the immediate sense and will not solve anything as THE PROBLEM will not be addressed but only bombed! Unless NATO is prepared to keep peace keeping troops in the area for the next several hundred years I suggest another plan be devised. I am not suggesting allowing murders to occur (and yes it is on both sides - history alone in a 400 year conflict should assure you of that). My recommendation (for what it's worth) is to relocate the Albanians to Albania and bill Yugoslavia for the trouble - say several billion dollars. If this situation were merely an issue of saving lives that could be accomplished. Evidently, that does not appear to be the objective. It is looking like this whole mess was staged (what's new?). It is looking more and more like Iran has been stirring up the recent trouble here. Now, I'm half Lebanese so, I'm not eager to point a finger at an Arab nation, but it is looking as if Iran is causing some trouble here. And still the plot thickens...We have drug trafficking here (or so some reports are suggesting that) and this could be a drug war to see who is the King Pin. This would explain Clinton's interest in this mess. There is a corporate interest too. Use up our missiles and bombs and we will just HAVE to purchase more. Ching, Ching, I read the cash register ringing to the tune of multi-billion dollar deals. Russia is showing interest in being Papa Bear again and has the opportunity to corral a few more countries into its den. China is just being pissy and outraged (what is new?) though they too have interests in stirring up trouble and getting the focus off of them for awhile. Not to mention an interest in drugs, arms and oil. France is being arrogant and slimy as usual and seems to be cutting a few deals while the iron is hot. Look to them to be making some bucks off of this one and to end up with a few interesting allies. As I read more and more accounts of what is occurring it seems that many countries view this as a day in a candy store and are greedy positioning themselves to get their share of the goodies.
