When this war started brewing was about the time I dropped TV for the internet and I was actually stunned to find out how much of the main stream news was making Goebbels proud. They really had evolved into an instrument of propaganda.
We are the ones that picked the guy who killed many innocent people just cuz he thought he may have a shot of the Nobel Peace Prize. We really let the world down on that one.
Someday we will be making amends, although, unfortunately, maybe not until we have no choice.
I found a good friend in Bulgaria who was able to give me first-hand accounts of what was happening.
I remember her fears that the war would spread into her own country and my assurances that it would not happen.
One evening, while we were talking together on ICQ, she screamed because an American fighter just passed over her house going super-sonic and broke some of her windows. At that time, she was living in Sophia, Bulgaria and close to the Kosovo border.
Over the years, I have watched this young woman as she matured and became educated as a lawyer. Today, she in post-graduate school and will someday be a positive force in guiding her country, as it makes it's transition from Communism.
So, in a strange way, our American war in Kosovo has had at least one positive result.
Today, I consider her like my own daughter.
Not even that. Wasn't the Kosovo bombing the week Monica Lewinsky was giving her grand jury testimony?
