My friend freaked out and began running towards our awaiting transportation. French KFOR was circling above and it was not good.

Activity was high and the tension was boiling over in August, as the Serbs had their hands tied by KFOR, whereas, the Albanians would not allow UNMIK to patrol their areas without KFOR escort. The "Koka Kola" red UNMIK Cherokees were able to easily control/patrol the Serbs. Thereby, further hamstringing the Serbs ability to defend and police up their own communities from crime.

Wasn't it I who said last year that tension will implode and become overtly hostile the next summer?

Aside from a recent visit w/KFOR in Kosovo I spent time in pre-war B/H (Split, Dubrovnik, Mostar). I clearly remember a chopper pilot chomping at the bit for the killing to start. This was summer '90. I often wonder how long he lasted and, if alive, what he thinks about the killing now. I do know that even if he's long dead there are thousands on all sides keeping their knives sharp for the day we leave.
