Thread Name: Yugoslavia
Subject: RE: Yugoslavia
I am so moved and inspired by this development. And I, too, was reminded of Tiannamen Square. (I hope the world community is more helpful in fostering this demand for democracy than they were in the case of the beautiful, courageous Chinese students ...)- Wyowoman

I agree.And I believe that the Chinese Democratic movement wouldn't have collapsed if the US and the rest of the free nations had applied anything like the pressure applied against Milosevich.I'm afraid that the fact that China possesses the World's largest standing army and a nuclear potential, and the innumerable dollars being exchanged between China and the US, influenced our reaction.Disgression is the better part of valor,after all.
