Fw: Ibrahim Rugova on Kosovo & Afghanistan

[Peter K.]

Ibrahim Rugova, leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo, argues
that there are many similiarities between the bombing of
Afghanistan and the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. Rugova says
that for Kosovo Albanians, "the Nato air strikes held the promise
of our future freedom from oppression and danger," and argues
that the current US-led bombing campaign could do the same for
Afghans. "The uncomfortable reality is that military force is
sometimes necessary to protect human rights and enforce the rule
of law," Rugova writes. (He won Saturday's parliamentary
elections.)
