Zyanna went ahead and e-mailed them. I'm not sure what she said. She just introduced herself and explained something about her band, the press kit she sent to Mr. Tamindzic, and so on. She is, of course, very upset about the war. She wondered why we didn't intervene this way in Rwanda. I said to her that Rwanda and Kosovo were both terrible messes that no one really knows what to do about, but that Kosovo seems much closer to home, so leaving it alone just doesn't seem like an option.
Also, in Rwanda there was no one obvious villain who lasted for very long, and no large military targets for us to destroy.
You, or some opposition groups you have mentioned, advocate support for opposition groups as the best way to topple Sloba and end Balkan wars. I wonder what kind of support Western governments and peoples could give that would actually make a difference.
I couldn't get the „make a difference“ under my cap then, as I immediately asked myself „difference between what?“. The phrase exists in serbian and it means „treat differently“, as in „I make no difference between my songs, I like them all equally“.
Passed this to oldwave, and added „I value this as a supreme cuntery - in the middle of this shit, we make contact with an american band... Arlington is, by the way, at the edge of washington land, right across the bridge.“ Someone there asks Kleks „how's Niš, still in existence...? ;)“. I say „Kleks didn't appear in the chat last night, did overlast [i.e. the night before]. Looking at Scrambled Eggs now, Niš seems quite shat up. Kleks, do you read us?“.
Whatever that Scrambled Eggs was... could it be some local television? The next day, Boća reports:
They whipped the first evening, about a kilometer of aur line from myy apartment, into empty barracks. Of four taomahavks, three exploded, and one made a hole 13 meters deep!
Guess they disassembled it yesterday. They also torn down the old cannon shed, the one from the movies about mass shot students! Another missile fell, they were aiming for the weapons factory in zastava, that's on the other end of town, on the old road to Jagodina. They missed and hit one of the hills. The factory is long gone from there anyway. I'm at mother-in-laws on the periphery, a bit away from my apartment, to calm the wife and kids. I don't smoke any shelters, just sip rakija at night :)
Take care and keep reporting!
When I was taking down the pad, Kleks was online. Didn't respond, I guess he's okay.
Zyanna replied me yesterday, I wrote her breefly back. I'm in a larger mess because we supply more than half the city, so I don't have the time to type out messages. I forewarded the message to Žikica Simić as well.
The said Žikica is one of the doyens of rock radio here, mostly specialized in americana.
Škrba didn't go take the car he was buying. „It better get hit in someone else's yard, than in mine“.
On twentyeighth, sezam is abuzz...
„...about this takedown of the F-11zA airplane... Since it's simply incredible how we managed to down it, the latest story around is that the Russians via their satellites gave us the coordinates of the 'stealth' and that ours just went off 'poking' the air space on 'the rough', and by some miracle, and luck, we 'poked' it... And about Surčin being bombarded... It seems a russian Antonov with rocket against cruising Tomahavks landed, which like 'angered' the NATO and then they 'discharged' on the airport...“.
„IF Antonov is what I think it is (huuuuuge russian transport airplane), than I can state assuredly that no such thing landed on Surčin. There's no chance I wouldn't notice (such an airplane must be heard, and we're on the landing route and at quieter times hear even the small cessnas;)).“
„I'd ask, if anyone has it, to publish the list of signals - the alarm siren sounds, not just for air danger, and cessation - end of danger, but for other signs - fire, RHB adnger, public mobilization, etc. A list with those signs, once used to hang in every building, but in my building now there is none. Also, I received one in october, was dropped into mailbox, but I didn't preserved, thinking I will never need it in life. So please to, if anyone has it, retype and publish.“
