Am I the only one who doesn't feel like we're at war in Kosovo or am I just a cold-hearten bastard? If not why do you think this war isn't as big news as usuall?

I think the media and the military are downplaying the whole thing. Ya know why? When we shot up Panama and Haiti, we were shooting (predominantly) Hispanic or Latino people; when we shot up Somalia, we were shooting black people; when we shot up Iraq, we were shooting Middle Eastern Arabs; when we were shooting up Vietnam, we were shooting Asians. Now we're shooting up a bunch of white European Serbs, and the white-dominated media, military, and Congress have suddenly turned pacifist.
