If this is true - and it is entirely possible - then this whole operation 
has more lies in it than we originally imagined. It is entirely 
conceivable why America would want to do it - it would make their 
imperialist domination of the planet appear unfallable, that nothing 
could undermine it. It would make other countries which "step out of 
line" think that they should do as America says because no matter how 
hard they try, they could nothing back to America while their country 
would be left in ruins. Also, with the question of the Balkans, the 
American regime are afraid that the ordinary people of their country will 
realize they will suffer, not their regime, and they will see other 
reasons for the operation than Kosovan refugees.

Before I come up with these theories, though, perhaps I should ask - if 
the Greek newspaper carries this report, where did they get their 
information from? In war, both sides lie, and if the newspaper received 
the information from the Serb regime, then I do not know if it is very 
credible.

But I'm certainly keeping a very open mind.
