Thank you for setting me straight. I did
not know my opinions were "wrong".
In fact, I did not know an opinion could be wrong. Again,
thank you for
setting me straight.
I was being kind in my previous e-mail. I do suspect I know
the reason for
our involvement in your country's affairs. I suspect our
allies shudder at
the thought of having to provide refuge for all those ethnic Albanians.
Our
allies have worked very hard to build first class, first rate democracies
and
economies. The level of affluence in Western Europe is equal
to that
experienced by North Americans and Japanese and nobody else.
I suspect the
major EU members (Italy, France, UK and Germany) honor and respect
the hard
work that got them to the level of affluence they now enjoy, and
are
unwilling to let a third rate leader like Milosevic jeopordize
their
stability. History has taught us that large refugee populations
cause
instability in the host country. I suspect the fear of
ths instability is
the driving force behind the extraordinary NATO unity. The
US is involved to
provide a united NATO, and because an unstable Europe is not in
our interest.
I respect your opinions. They are not "wrong", I just don't
agree with them.
I'll repeat: you and your concergoers are misguided
in directing your ire
towards NATO. A thought for you:
The US through off the British;
Italy through off Mussolini;
Germany rebuilt itself after Hitler;
Russia through off the communist regime:
Poland, Hungary, East Germany, the Czech Republic, Romania...the
list goes on
and on.
These people fought their internal struggles to free themselves
of misguided
leadership. You and your concertgoers would do well to read
some history
books.
Thank you again.
