[PEN-L:6267] Re: Another Note---severed heads in the garden

["J. Barkley Rosser, Jr." <rosserjb@xxxxxxx>]

      Actually I just read that Representative Blagojevich
from Ilinois is of Serbian descent.  He was the one who
early on was floating a partition proposal.  He is part of
some delegation that is going over there.
     Again, I would reserve the word "partition" for the
idea of dividing up Kosovo-Metohija somehow, not a
separation of some sort of the whole province from Serbia.
This would keep our discussion clear.  The example to think
of is Bosnia-Herzegovina which has been effectively partitioned
and I suspect that the fact that a half-baked peace has been
maintained there is one of the reasons that people keep
talking up partition, even though it is much less obvious
how to do it in Kosmet than it was in Bosnia-Herzegovina,
where it was weird enough.
