Right on Jim, And I wonder if many on this list has thought of the gender implications of US support for the KLA separatists? I think they should have a close look at Afghanastan. Do women on this list really want to support this kind of islamic nationalism? If you have any doubts about the effect of US policy in separating Kosovo from 'progressive' Yugoslavia, take a drive between Skopje and Ohrid in Macedonia, and look at the 8 foot fences that imprison the women so that they can not be seen by men. The Serbs always opposed this kind of imprisonment of women, despite their chauvinist ways.
