In the old Yugoslavia, the thing that the Slovenes bitched aboout and eventually used as a reason to leave, was that "too much of it's income was going to Belgrade". Ironically, most that money going to Belgrade from Slovenia was for Kosovo. The Slovenes knew that it was for Kosovo to support Albanians having litters, but the Slovenes were smart enough to not to blame the Albanians for it, because blaming "the central government" sounded so much better for its purposes -- and it also gave the Albanians fodder for leaving too!
Just finished another book -- "Fool's Crusade", by Diana Johnstone. It's about Yugoslavia as a test-case for economic globalism backed by the military. It's an excellent book -- but very disturbing if all she is saying comes true. It was certainly true re the break-up (destruction) of Yugoslavia. If she is right, Bush wouldn't bomb the Albanians no matter what they have done or will do.
