NATO bombs Yugoslavia, President Milosevic eviscerates Kosovo, there's a mass Albanian exodus, and Russia protests Western military action. Confused?
John StevensAge:32 Resides:New Jersey Occupation:Waste management What do you think is going on in Kosovo? Basically, there are two areas that are going after each other. NATO wants to back them off. What level of involvement should we have?To be honest with you, if I knew more about it, I could say, but I don't. It's scary because I used to be a poli-sci major. What other global hot spots trouble you most?None really. I'm pretty happy. I'm trying to survive myself. You go to work, you come home, there are the kids. Whatever's going on out there, I can't do anything about it. |
Debbie CowellAge:29 Resides:Fort Greene, Brooklyn Occupation:Publishing What do you think is going on in Kosovo? We're just bombing more people again. What level of involvement should we have? I don't think the U.S. has been justified in any of its bombings for the past 25 years. We must have more of a vested interest in Kosovo than we did in Bosnia. What's under there, oil? A diamond mine? What other global hot spots trouble you most?We should be more involved in Rwanda. No one gives a damn about ethnic cleansing when there's melanin involved. |
Anne PidgeonAge:25 Resides:Village Occupation:Law student What do you think is going on in Kosovo? We're trying to stop Milosevic from human rights violations. But I just got back from spring break, so I'm not too aware of what's going on. What level of involvement should we have?Right now we're fine. If it gets much farther, I don't know if I'd suport sending in ground troops. What other global hot spots trouble you most?China. We can't ignore their human rights violations. |
EphraimAge:30 Resides:Crown Heights, Brooklyn Occupation:Stockbroker What do you think is going on in Kosovo? It appears that Milosevic is harassing innocent civilians. In addition, there might be some media skew to it. What level of involvement should we have?Based on the spin that Clinton put on it, we should be involved and I admire that we haven't put ground troops. Also, the U.S. has an ethical responsibility. What other global hot spots trouble you most?As a religious Jew, I'd have to say the Middle East. I have a problem generally with the fact that the whole peace process appears to be a one-sided thing. |
John GatesAge:35 Resides:Upper West Side Occupation: Administration What do you think is going on in Kosovo? There's a campaign of genocide that absolutely threatens human values. The NATO response has been appropriate. What level of involvement should we have? It's a tough one. Certainly we don't want to see American lives lost, especially in a crisis that doesn't directly affect us. Yet we are a world leader. What other global hot spots trouble you most?There is a manufactured area of conflict and that would be Cuba. Clinton needs to stand up for truth and lift the embargo. |
Maria GillenAge:33 Resides:Hoboken, New Jersey Occupation:Student What do you think is going on in Kosovo? We're interfering and trying to prevent Milosevic from ethnically cleansing the Albanians. What level of involvement should we have? I think we're doing the right thing. What other global hot spots trouble you most?I'm of Irish descent, so that's a big concern. |
Isis Chen Lan LunAge:37 Resides:New Paltz, New York Occupation:Artist What do you think is going on in Kosovo? What I believe is really happening is under the surface. Most U.S. wars are about hidden issues, something economic. What level of involvement should we have? I'm a pacifist. I don't think we should be involved at all. What other global hot spots trouble you most?When there was apartheid, South Africa. Also Honduras after the hurricane. It's interesting: Cuba came to their aid before the U.S. did, and they're a poor country. |
