Yep. This is, I think, Exhibit A for the anti-bombing case. Those in whose name this is being perpetrated clearly don't matter one fucking iota to their self-professed champions. The one situation where NATO is actually well placed to prove it gives a toss - where only food, shelter, medicine and respect are called for - is the one where NATO proves it's one monolithic, gargantuan, murderous liar.
Perhaps it suits somebody to destabilise and pauperise Macedonia and Albania, too - I dunno.
But I reckon the decisive empirical evidence is in, anyway.
NATO is something to hate.
