Questions on the Yugoslav Uncivil War

[Chegitz Guevara <mluziett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have kept quiet on the civil war in former Yugoslavia (FY) for one main
reason, I don't know all that much about it. However, I *do* have some
thoughts and questions, which I would like some comment on.

It seems to me that the imperialist intervention has only come about, now
that all sides are thoroughly sick of the war, and when it had begun to
peter out on its own.

Given the fact that nearly half of Serbia was opposed to the war, and that
there were anti-war movements in each country to greater and lesser
extents, how much do you think that the intervention has to do with
keeping the population "in-line" rather than the combatants apart?

What is the status of the anti-war groups in FY now?

What is the status of the anti-imperialist groups in FY now?

How stable are the regimes in FY?

What sort of opportunities are there for leftists outside FY to connect
with and support progressive anti-imperialists within FY?

*If* there is no mass movement in FY opposing intervention, upon what
basis can we, in the NATO nations, fight it?
