I am responding to Mark See’s editorial. First of all, let me tell you where I am coming from. Croatians attacked my hometown in Croatia in 1995 after four years of war and 600,000 Serbs flew out of Croatia and other Serbian territories. ÿ

Thousands of people were killed. ÿThis was never mentioned in the press here, and Clinton came out and even said it was a good development. NATO supported this ethnic cleansing. These people who barely survived then are getting bombed now. Where is the justice in that?

The political solution to the problem in Kosovo was never even tried. ÿ

The agreement that Milosevic didn’t sign was not an agreement. It was blackmail. It would allow armed NATO troops in the land, and in three years possible independence of Kosovo, which, in short, would be an occupation of Yugoslavia. ÿ

No country would ever allow this sort of a deal. Kosovo is a very important and sacred part of Serbia. Before the bombing started, there was a civil war between the guerrilla KLA and Yugoslavian army. ÿMany Serbs and Albanians have been killed by the KLA. Why don’t you ever hear that side?ÿThere is never only one side to a war.

You can’t bomb one side because of the genocide somebody is supposedly committing. Genocide is a word that means killing a whole race or ethnicity of people, and this is not happening to Albanians now. ÿ

They are leaving because all of Kosovo is turning into rubble from the bombing. There is no proof for this genocide.

You see pictures on TV of supposed mass graves. Why don’t you see the middle picture then of this atrocity actually happening? ÿ

You see pictures of dead people but who knows who they are?

What I am trying to tell you is bombing of Yugoslavia goes against U.N. policies; it is illegal to attack a sovereign state. ÿ

There is no real proof of any genocide, only of the genocide now committed by NATO against the people of Serbia and 20 other nationalities living there. ÿPlease, you have to know that the bombing is wrong, and you have to know facts before you start judging the situation. ÿÿÿÿÿÿ
