The eXile's Mark Ames reports from Kosovo <http://www.exile.ru/ames/ames102.html>:


>The province is filthy, ugly, completely polluted by NATO ordinance,
>run by half-wits and thugs, soaked in blood and doomed to be the
>permanent asshole of Europe, a stain on the Balkans.
>
>I can't wait to get the fuck out.
>
>It's incredible to me that so much blood and so much bile could be
>spilled over such a pile of shit that passes for a province. But
>Europeans are like this, they're weird, no, insane when it comes to
>land. It's so grotesque that it's almost comical. It reminds me of
>the jail scene in that Woody Allen movie Love And Death, when
>Woody's father pulls a dirt clod from out of his ragged overcoat,
>points at it urgently, and rasps, "Land, my son! Land is the most
>important thing. When I die, I'll give you this land. Don't ever
>sell it! It's ours, our land!"
>
>Here, they'd kill you, your family, your friends, and every genetic
>trace of DNA extant over that one dirt clod. By next week, we'll
>know if the UN and NATO are next in line.
