  I would be interested  to know if others on this also think that men
who refuse to fight in the Serbian Army are  giving "aid and comfort to
Nato," fostering forced trafficking of women, contributing to the ruin
of Eatern Europe and all the rest.  I am also interested in people's
thoughts on the Serbian peace movement, the Women in Black and other
opponents of Milosevic. Are they traitors to the cause of
anti-imperialism, gender equality, and the other things mark argues
Serbia is defending? I think those people are heroes, along with their
Croatian, Bosnian and Kosovan counterparts. Nationalism is the enemy --
on all sides.
