Peace and security for the Kosovan people will never become a reality unless NATO brings military pressure to bear on Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic, and unless the ongoing peace negotiations include a guaranteed right to self-determination for the ethnic Albanian majority in Kosova.
Discussion on the need for NATO intervention in Kosovo and self-determination for ethnic Albanians.

Perhaps no event better illustrates Milosevic's brutal policies than the recent massacre in the village of Racak, where 45 ethnic Albanians, many of whom were women and children, were found murdered by Serb military and police units.
The Kosovan people are running out of time, however. Humanity cannot stand idly by and witness further atrocities such as those committed in Racak.
Thousands are dead, tens of thousands are homeless, and many more have fled the country.
Once again Milosevic carries out a genocidal campaign of ethnic cleansing, once again the international community is slow to react, and once again it is innocent civilians who must pay the terrible price that world indifference imposes.
