- Thanks you VMS for that enlighting and sad walk back into history.
- I would like to make a comment on your conclusion however.
- I don't feel that "_Europe_ is willing to engage in ANOTHER war over
- this war-torn land". It is pretty obvious that except for Serbia,
- NOONE has wanted to go to war. Europe as a whole have engaged Serbia
- as they engaged Hitler and Germany, i.e. appeasement, appeasement, appeasement.
- It's only now months later, that some teeth are finally beginning to show.
- Let's hope that it's not too late.
