While talking. but not seriously negotiating with Rugova. Milosevic was busy setting in motion the next step in his state of terrorism. Late last month. his notorious special police sealed off western Kosovo and began a murderous campaign of ethnic cleansing. driving some 65.000 refugees into neighboring Albania and others into Montenegro. After killing hundreds and burning entire towns to the ground. Milosevics forces have reportedly even resorted to strafing fleeing refugees from Yugoslav helicopters. One would hope that the West has learned something from its pathetic temporizing in Bosnia earlier in this decade. Perhaps we have. but maybe we have not.
