They use the pretext of defending "captive nations" in order to extend their imperial control. I think a better way of understanding the problem in Yugoslavia is through the analogy with Sandinista Nicaragua, who faced a secessionist movement on the Atlantic coast backed by US imperialism. < The problem with this formulation is that the Sandinistas, who ruled Nicaragua at the time, were more-or-less "good guys" (despite their treatment of the Miskitos). Milosevic is not. Jim Devine [EMAIL PROTECTED] & http://clawww.lmu.edu/Faculty/JDevine/jdevine.html Bombing DESTROYS human rights. US/NATO out of Serbia!
