One poll conducted in Slovenia a couple of months ago asked a provocative, but no doubt not abstact, question concerning how Slovenes felt about having nuclear weapons stationed on their soil. An overwhelming majority of respondents answered negatively - in horror one assumes - but when popular sentiment and NATO exigencies come into conflict, so much the worse for the popular will.] September 1, 2001 US Army Using Slovenian Port By Associated Press Published September 1, 2001, 2:23 PM CDT U.S. army equipment was unloaded at this northern Adriatic port Saturday, marking the first time the American military is using Slovenia as a temporary logistic base for troops stationed in Bosnia. The 45 containers and 35 helicopters arrived on the Express, a freighter flying the Liberian flag. Previously, Rijeka, a port in neighboring Croatia, was used for the semiannual rotation of troops and equipment stationed in Bosnia. About 3,800 American troops are deployed in Bosnia. U.S. troops have been there since the 1995 end of the war as a part of the NATO-led peace force. Slovenia, a former Yugoslav republic of two million, is already a member of NATO's auxiliary program Partnership for Peace. It is eager to become a full member, and officials expressed satisfaction with the U.S. army's decision to use Koper. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
