remotely close to establishing that. The "Hitler test" is an
argument by
analogy. In logic, arguments by analogy are never valid i.e. if
the premises are true the conclusion does not necessarily follow.
I think I addressed this in my response to Carroll.

Self-determination is the ideal, but I'd settle for just about anything that protected Albanians. Of course, I'm not a Muslim in Kosova. Shouldn't it be up to them?

the KLA. Would you give a gun

If I had the luxury of time to investigate I would use it. If I didn't, I'd have to make a decision based on what I know (not much), and in light of what I suspect to be happening in Kosova (extremely bad). For instance, if the rally I'd gone to had a Taliban aspect, I would be more cautious in saying the KLA should be armed. Based on what I suspect, right now I'd arm the KLA.

I've explained how I'm agin' NATO.

No justice, no peace.

God bless bombs falling on the heads of Serb military, and god damn the rest.
