　　　 The results of the US/NATO bombing of Yugoslavia are to be judged by history. I shall not be the one to do it. But being in the center of actual events that are creating that history, I cannot stay away from what is going on in my country.

　　　 First of all, the aim of the bombing was to prevent a human suffering in Kosovo. Today, after many days of frequent bombing, that aim is more distant than before. The bombing only brought tens of thousands of people running away from their homes. Not to mention the large number of the death and injury, buildings and factories. Suppose that the US/NATO really had a wish to prevent the human suffering, they should realize they were wrong when they thought the bombing would solve the problem.

　　　 So, what’s left? Back off or ground troops? But who is going to join the ground troops? It would take at least 200,000 armed soldiers, not the 20,000 that the US/NATO have prepared in Macedonian. It should also be clear that the Serbs(塞族)will not give up on Kosovo.

　　　 I live under continuous bombing for more than a week now. And it doesn’t frighten me any more. I don’t turn to the shelter at the sound of warning. It’s the thought of ground troops that frightens me. Vietnam would seem like a picnic compared to a bloodshed in Kosovo if the ground troops appear. Is that what the US/NATO wants?
