However, whether I agree with your political viewpoint or not, I do not believe that museum-l is the appropriate place for this posting. >From: Rebernik KEG <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: Museum discussion list <[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: NATO is civilised and democratic >Date: Sat, 26 Jun 1999 17:18:19 +0200 > >I, Peter Rebernik and all undersigned, demand the following from the >responsible persons of NATO: > > >All people belonging to the democratic and civilised nations regret deeply >that in the course of the bombing of Serbia by the NATO, many innocent >people died and were wounded. >Not one of them was tried or convicted for racism against any person of >another origin e.g. Albanian or because of any involvement in the ethnic >cleansing in Kosovo. >These persons were hit “just by accident”.
