KLA - FREEDOM FIGHTERS OR......

Anarchy & Madness Timothy Garton Ash, New Yourk Review of Books, Feb, 2000 Reflective text on the difficult situation in Post-war Kosovo. Garton Ash makes a thorough analysis why there is no true peace in Kosovo. "West won the war. I fear we are losing the peace."

"Before and during the war, Kosovars kept assuring me that Kosova
would not be like Albania: corrupt, anarchic, ruled by the gun and the gang.
Increasingly, it is. The Albanization of Kosova is taking place
in a way no ordinary Kosova Albanian wanted. The gangsters have stepped
into the vacuum left by the slowness of the West." Timothy Garton Ash
