> It is clear that there are genuinely held views on both sides
> of the question of the war in the Balkans and the NATO bombing of
> Serbia. In particular, many people support the bombing in the
> humanitarian belief that this is the only way to prevent the ethnic
> cleansing of Kosovan Albanians. Likewise others oppose the war on the
> basis that bombing makes the situation worse.
