the mark of the master ironist, that.
actually, the origin of this thread was your Thu, 14 Oct 1999 18:56:51 message, 'Hitler's Double in Kosovo,' which definite- ly was not about the NATO occupation yugoslavia. and, despite your valiant efforts to prescribe the focus of the subsequent discussion, most remarks have orbited around the region's pol- itical, economic, and cultural fabric from WW2 on. denouncing others as 'postmodernists,' failed 'ironists' and 'deconstruc- tionists' simply because they don't submit to your program is a bit silly, imo.
