Information is still limited yet it looks like there are few casualties in the large protest taking place right now. Tonight my thoughts are optimistic, of an end to the misery that has been inflicted by Milosevic Roger |

05 Oct 00 - 04:00 PM (#312992) Subject: RE: thought for tonight From: jeffp Apparently, it's being speculated that Slobbo may have run already. The people have stormed the Parliament building and the state-run news agency is proclaiming the opposition leader to be the president. I hope this can resolve itself without much bloodshed. There has been too much of that so far. jeffp |

05 Oct 00 - 04:40 PM (#313027) Subject: RE: thought for tonight From: McGrath of Harlow Just hope it works out better than it did in Russia. And a lot of that depends on whether the heavy-handed get-rich-quick carpetbaggers can be kept out of the driving seat.
It always seems at times like this that there are two contrasting crises in the world's spotlight at the same time, like in 1956 and 1968. This time it's Belgrade on the one hand, where things seem to be sorting themselves out, and (touch wood) there doesn't seem to be much killing, and on the other hand Israel/Palestine, with a nightmare on the streets, children getting shot, and no clear way out of it.
Incidentally I suspect that link I gave to a revolutionary news source in Belgrade won't work, because too many people are trying to access it. |
