It is not for me. I am offended by the medias' simplistic attitude towards the population they control, of which I am a member. I still believe people should get involved. There should be discussions. Naively, I believe people should form their own opinions. And opinions come from information. Compare sides. Listen to everybody. Only then you are the one to decide who you can trust.
In a major show of weakness and unfairness, NATO tried (unsuccessfully) to silence Serbian TV. They will probably also try to censor the many websites that carry information they cannot control. I invite you to browse some of that information before it goes away. This is what the Internet is for. So, leave those online stock trading pages alone for a few minutes, read and try to understand.

The eventual success of the Kosovo operation, no matter how high the final cost, establishes a very dangerous precedent. It legitimizes the aggression by an external entity in order to resolve controversies that are local to one country.
Furthermore, it does so in the absence of any international legislative support. By doing that, by definition it can bring no justice in the conflict. Also, the peace it may bring is only guaranteed by that resolving external factor. This justifies the continued presence of the external entity on that country. In other words, it justifies long-term armed occupation, possibly to be replaced by more sophisticated occupation forces, such as condiscendent local governements, after the crisis is over.

Although most people, including myself, agree that the Serbian government's behavior towards the ethnic minorities in its own country is indefensible, the NATO response, headed mainly by the US Administration with the enthusiastic support of the British Government, is outrageous exactly because it is cynical realpolitik at its best, masqueraded as a holy crusade. What really bothers me is the obvious hypocrisy of the US administration, and its patent disregard for human rights and human lives, which is exactly what it officially claims to defend.

Moral aggression.

In the last two months, the NATO gang has managed to lower its moral status to that of its enemy. The US Administration (let alone the President himself, as a man) has no stature and no "credit history" to present itself as the defensor of human rights in any region of the world. In fact, this entire operation is probably illegal from any perspective based on international law (and arguments have been made to support this claim). This operation highlights the degree to which the US places itself well above laws and international agreements, ignoring its own responsibilities with the nonchalance of those who know they will always go unpunished (you could say, it's the nature of the empire).

Winners and losers.

However you decide to calculate the cost of the aggression, be it in monetary form, in human currency, or by estimating the present and future loss of basic human rights and principles of worldwide peace and cohexistence, the result is scary.
It is scary because, at a time when the shameful, criminal, relentless aggression perpetrated by NATO is apparently producing nothing but unecessary suffering, its most important fruits are almost ripe.
After over two months of humanitarian disasters and of systematic, cynical destruction of an entire country, the NATO gang is ready to prove its main theorem to the world: it itself represents the force behind Good, and therefore it needs to exist. Not as a defensive force, as it is defined, but rather as the violent arm at the service of World police. NATO's existence is justified by the existence of Evil, which takes various forms according to the economic and political agendas of the phoney democracies whose interests it represents. For the benefit of the masses whose resentment needs to be focused against specific targets, media often also associates anthropomorphic features to Evil, which is currently conveniently depicted as a ruthless (post-)communist dictator.
I guess this combination of sheer violence and propaganda is called proactive self-protection.

The tangible proof of this claim to existence by NATO will be the armed invasion of a sovereign state, following which the victory of Good will be declared and silence will reign on the conquered land where peace will never really return. It will not return because the only problem that will have been solved is proving the Theorem, and that has nothing to do with the resolution of human controversies, be them of political, ethnical or other nature.
By creating aritficial enclaves that divide the country along ethnic boundaries, NATO has not solved the cohexistence problems in Bosnia and Erzegovina. In fact, it has arrested and detained not one of those politically responsible for the massacres that took places there in over two years of war, claiming that the fragile balance of powers should not be disturbed.
There is no reason to believe that just peace will return in Kosovo, because the same hands that today brandish the moral flag of Human Right there, are those that have been redefining Good and Evil elsewhere over many years, in systematic contempt of those very rights. This has been the case in Kurdistan, in East Timor, in Rwanda, in Chile, in Nicaragua and elsewhere.

The cost factor.

But, back to the cost factor. The collateral damage. The innocent blood, the total disregard for human life that characterizes the arrogant who knows it will go unpunished.
After over two months, this aggression has created a no-win situation for peace and for human rights worldwide. There will be winners, of course. They will be those who profit from human suffering, the ones who don't mind climbing the political, social and economic ladders with their hands full of blood, those who understand what democracy is really about: promoting indifference and controlling propaganda.
The cynical will flourish, all others stand to lose.

Losers are those who believed rationality would prevail when power is in the hands of the powerful democracies of the self-proclaimed civilized world.
  That's wrong. Cynical calculation may even be ok if you are smart. The scary thought is that the initiative in this war is in the hands of amateurs, an incompetent elite dominated by the arrogance of their ignorance. Ignorance first of all in the way you deal with problems that  have been afflicting peoples in the Balkans for centuries, and that they stand up to solve in a few weeks by bringing about destruction.
Ignorance in the way you deal with diplomacy -- by canceling it out of the equation. Finally, ignorance in the way you play your silly war games on your silly computers.

Losers are those who advocate the need for entities like the United Nations to exist.
The attitude of the US Administation towards those pathetic folks at the UN could not be more humiliating: it's not so much that the big brass openly states that the UN forces are not up to the task, or the fact that the Administration vetoed the election of a Secretary General that was not to its pleasing. The revealing detail is really that the US, the force that has been investing millions over millions of dollars a day for over two months into the systematic destruction of a country, has not paid its dues to the UN for several years now.

You lose the war if you believe your country's government  has sovereigneity over its own territory.
It only does as long as the World police agrees.

You lose if you believe that the innocent will be spared the pain and the guilty will pay. It has not happened in Iraq, it is not happening in Kosovo. Innocents have always been the victim of arrogance. It is probably a law of nature, which no civilized country should ever attempt to subvert.

You lose if you believe you have a say in the way your money, as a tax payer, is spent by the administrators you have democratically elected.
It easy to see where the money goes (it goes in bombs that destroy things and kill people). It is less easy to see where it does not go, because you will not find much of it in the mainstream news.
But take a simple example. After over 60 days of pushing and pulling, the overflowing refugee camps are facing a shortage of money and supply. The UN, Red Cross and other agencies are asking (or rather begging) for money. Meanwhile, we admire the precision of multimillion $$$ semi-intelligent missiles.
  How many meals and blankets and tents can you buy  just with the $40M that went up in smoke when the two helicopters crashed in Albania, well before they could do something "useful"? How many kids can you send through college all over the US with that money? This war is sponsored by taxpayers money and will fuel the arms industrial complex for years to come. Basically, we are once again paying the arms makers. Some, less fortunate, pay with their lives. That alone bothers me. In addition, if the planned colonization of Kosovo and hopefully Yugoslavia is accomplished, guess who will get the contracts to rebuild the country.

You lose if you believe the mainstream media will tell you all the truth.
This may sound as a no-brainer. As a matter of fact, the majority of people are not at all offended by the way they are being fed carefully designed, synthetic news. In fact, it is because people are happy to delegate their own opinions to the newsmakers that such media system exists.

Finally, you lose if you do not care, because then you abdicate your right to exercise your moral judgement, preferring instead to shut your conscience.
With your terrifying silence, you shatter the foundations of the very democratic principles that inspire, in the words of the rulers and in the eyes of the naive, this holy crusade against tyranny.
By silently approving the principles of justified aggression, of subjugation by sheer force, of domination by the strongest, you become accomplices of a crime. I hope you at least appreciate the irony.
