*****  Walesa: Use brute force to disarm Serbs

Q: As NATO enters the second month of bombing attacks, what in your view
should be done in Kosovo now?

A: First, we have to settle this conflict. We cannot help solve it with
statements only. We must use overwhelming force and disarm them. Slobodan

on the Serbs indicating a deadline -- that they must either surrender or
die. Of course, I'm presenting to you just my rough ideas. But as you know,
