The June issue of Harper's magazine, which I have already referred to,
reprints a statement by Serbia's deputy prime minister Vojislav Seselj from
1995, explaining how the ethnic Albaninan majority is to be driven from
Kosovo.

I think this is enough to point out the naivete of thinking that everything
was fine before the bombing, and will be fine if we just stop.  In fact,
there has been a ten-year campaign by the Serbs against the Kosovars, which
has now erupted into open war.
