- Wait a second. Until yesterday, MILS propaganda was telling us that
- Albanians were happy living in "M". Now this. What is going on?
-
- A) The problem is so widespread that Gligorov cannot deny it
- B) Gligorov is pulisizing the news to justify putting "M" in some sort
- of "emergency state" (read: Dictatorship).
- C) Same as B), with the added goal of casting the Albanians as the
- bad guys for the purposes of justifying "cleansing operations".
- D) All of the above.

- Wow! According to the MILS posting, the riots started
- with one incident at 4.00pm, and grew to over 3,000 before 6.00pm, when
- shots started being fired. 7 organizers, 3,000 protesters in less
- than 2 hours, completely out of the cold. How where the 7 identified?
-
- A) Any 7 random people the police could arrest in the confusion.
- B) People outspoken against Gligorov, whether they happened to
- be in the riots or not.
- C) 3 from A) and 4 from B)
- D) 2 from A), 4 from B), and 1 randomly selected hard-core criminal
- (who was not nessesarily involved in the riots)
- for the purpose of discrediting the rioters as a whole.

- (Hint: The correct answer is not A, B or C)

-
- Is is so hard to discover the causes? Gimme a break!
