I agree with you Lonesome EJ, the situation in China is very different from the current situation in Yugoslavia.

I can't help but wonder, however, if the current uprising by the people was motivated by the sanctions that were imposed by NATO, or, if eventually the people would have said we have had enough, and would have rebelled anyway at some point.

In other words, I am wondering if the NATO military campaign had anything at all to do with the current uprising.

Sanctions that have been in effect for decades against the Castro regime in Cuba have certainly not had the same effect. There have been no uprising by the Cuban people in Cuba, and if one is to believe reports by some Mudcatters who have spent time in Cuba, everything is pretty rosy down there.

Makes one wonder (me at least).
