: OK, I just had to respond to this post. The thing that is going on in Kosovo IS different than what the Nazis did. The Nazis wanted to get rid of an entire race, genocide. They wanted them all dead. What is going on now is called Ethnic Cleasing, and the people don't want to kill the muslims, they just want them out of their land. If they have to kill some to do that they will, but there main idea is to get them off their land, not destroy the whole race of them like the Nazis. Do you understand what I'm saying? I look forward to your respond to this. Sorry if I don't know all the names and stuff, but I basically get the whole thing that id going on. Looking forward to your reply.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand where you're going with this... killing is killing no matter how you look at it. I'm of Polish descent (born there, actually), the Nazis killed millions of us during the war, be it on the battlefields, concentration camps, or just plain on the streets, as they had done to many other people. Contary to what a lot of people believe, not only Jews were put in concentration camps, although they constituted the majority. I see no difference between what happened then and what's now happening in Yugoslavia.
Please understand, I'm not trying to start a flame war here... I can honestly say I feel for the other side (I think my interest in anthropology/archaeology influences me a bit here) as any Slav would - that's why the Russians are getting so emotional about the whole issue. The fact remains though that genocide is going on and something has to be done about it before a whole culture is displaced/eliminated. Anyway, I believe Indy wouldn't hesitate if he could do anything about it.

Cheers!
