Absolute crapola. Ei is in the former Yugoslavia; any military action of ANY KIND by NATO... and we would be seeing a LOT of high-ranking officers sweating bullets in the Hague. The factory is in Belgrade, which offers no military targets anyway. Wasn't destroyed in '94, won't ever be destroyed. To "accidentially" destroy a complex as large as Ei, which makes TV sets, washing machines, all manner of consumer goods, and tubes (almost as an afterthought )is laughable for so many reasons I'm having trouble listing them. 1. Ei is huge. A Nuclear Device or 20-40 laser guided bombs would be required. Neither of these ever are used "accidentally." 2. Nato is not a cowboy with a six-gun; they don't do ANYTHING accidentally. (well, maybe a little "collateral damage," but hey that's war-- or a police action) 3. We convicted Milosovic almost 6 mos. ago and are doing a bare minimum of flyovers in lightly armed or non-offensively armed planes. 4. This would be a big, big deal, not water-cooler "what happened last night on "Big Brother" type gossip. Thankfully, nothing like this ever did or likely ever will occur. Belgrade does not produce any materials of war.... just good tubes and consumer goods. Chris
