  Well I see people really basing their arguments on their feelings rather than look back at the truth. jjvanka says that the International Community should have worked out a peaceful deal with the regime at a time and not bomb Serbia. is she aware of the negotiations that went on and on and on with Holbrook and Clarcke forever. They negotiated literally 24/7 but Milosevis wasnt someone who would make deals on negotiations. he understood only the hard way. People forget that in Bosnia they tried to negotiate for years and he never backed off and kept killing innocent people, they …

  to:jj No one obeyed KLA, no one feared them, KLA was born as a result of unhappiness of the Albanian people. KLA had no centralized headquarters, it was guerillas fighting the regime. So you are saying that all this started with KLA? WHat before that? You really seem to have fallen a victim of the RTS propaganda which kept the dilusional imaginations of the Serbian minds. That is why they bombed RTS tower. We have suffered and so did the Serbian people, but Albanians suffered from Serbs and Serbs suffered as a result of their wrong-doings which was killing innocent victims. …

  Can you accept the fact that Milosevic can be compared to Hitler? If so, do you think that he proclaimed himself a president or you, the Serbian people voted him again and again because he promised you Serboslavia? Are you trying to say that Milosevic's regime had the right to do all the attrocities in Kosovo (15 thousand dead) and Bosnia (over 200 thousand)? If you say that the politics of the time were right, but International Community shouldnt have taken action than I rest my case my dear friend. I am sure you are speaking from somewhere where there has …

  Dear Lubach, I do agree with your arguments which is based on some of your experience during your time there. I was there in 98-99 and I grew up there as a matter of fact and lived all those attrocities that you mentioned above. I do believe that we CAN and SHOULD find a way to live together and fordet all the nonsense wars which most of the new generations are suffering as a result. People do not know that the New Kosovo Constitution offers more rights to minorities than any other constitution out there, and I understand that it must …

  Nevada... I read the article and diane must have issues because she talks about many things such as the speech of Milosevic which she considers to have been a speech of social issues discussed with serbs living in Kosovo. If Kosovo was part of Serbia which he was the president, why he didnt invite or why there werent any Albanians on that meeting which took place in Kosovo Polje (Fushe Kosove), since 90% of Kosovo is inhabited by ALbanians. And she claims that it wasnt a speech of hatred? She must have an issue of misunderstanding or a personal hatred toward …
