Re: [A-List] Why NATO bombed Serb TV

Nestor,

My irony appears to have been lost.  I didn't mean "us" on the list, but
those among "us" who supported the war on Yugoslavi.  I could be wrong, but
I don't recall Deomacracy Now! being so vehemently opposed to that war.  The
circumstances around Milosevic's kidnapping are never discussed.
