A little footnote to that pre 9/11 bombing of Kosovo. When American bombers were destroying bridges in Kosovo, there was a fear that Serbians living in the US, donning uniforms and acting as “special forces” might retaliate. There were concerns that if they hijacked a fuel truck, parked it under towers of the George Washington Bridge on the lower level and detonated it, the bridge might collapse into the Hudson river. As a result all trucks were banned from using the lower level. That ban continues to this day. The Port Authority managed to protect the iconic George Washington Bridge but not the Twin Towers from equally enraged Muslims. American foreign entanglements have consequences even when they are not well publicized or acknowledged.

I believe we just bombed Belgrade. The UN only wants to kill white people!
