I just read a post from the TiM (Truth in Media ) website. The fellow who runs it went over to Belgrade just recently to report the war firsthand. He noted that there was a huge lineup at one place in Belgrade. He asked someone if they were lining up for food. No, cigarettes, the fellow said. The TiM guy checked with someone in the line. Yes. Indeed. So at least some good has come of the NATO bombing. Many Serbs will have to quit cold turkey. CHeers, Ken Hanly Yoshie Furuhashi wrote: > This just in (via Louis Godena).
