The people of Kosovo, in their desperation (57% unemployment in 1989!) supported the Kosovo Liberation Army. The KLA knew that attacking the Serb minority in Kosovo would lead to retaliation from Serbia in such a way as to make NATO intervention inevitable. The so-called massacre in Racak that sparked the NATO bombings was questioned by two French newspapers. It seems to have actually been a skirmish between Serb police & the KLA. The KLA later dressed their dead in civilian clothes, and no spent cartridges or blood was found at the "massacre" site. Now NATO finally has its long-term military base for operations within the region. The preceding paragraph is a summary of a very thorough essay explaining the leadup to the NATO bombings. ______________________________________________ Rave by MrQuibble for the Undesirable Propagation Unit.
