KK-Forum,
å dømme etter rapportene i det siste ser det ut som Thaci og co prøver seg
på det samme som sist, men nå i det såkalte 'Sør-Serbia' eller
'Øst-Kosovo'. Jfr dette poeng fra BBC-reportasjen:
>Ever since the Bosnian war of 1995, the KLA, seeking to capitalise on
>popular resentment among Kosovan Albanians against the regime in Belgrade,
>had pursued a strategy of destabilising the Serbian province of Kosovo by
>acts of terrorism, in the hope that the US and NATO would intervene. They
>ambushed Serb patrols and killed policemen.
>
>"Any armed action we undertook would bring retaliation against civilians,"
>KLA leader Thaci explained. "We knew we were endangering a great number of
>civilian lives." The benefits of this strategy were made plain by Dug
>Gorani, a Kosovo Albanian negotiator not tied to the KLA: "The more
>civilians were killed, the chances of international intervention became
>bigger, and the KLA of course realised that. There was this foreign
>diplomat who once told me, 'Look, unless you pass the quota of five
>thousand deaths you'll never have anybody permanently present in Kosovo
>from foreign diplomacy.'"
Skitt la gå, noen sivile må lide. Men det spørs om USA/NATO vil krige mer nå.
