Many predicted that ethnic cleansing would begin as Western officials left Kosovo in advance of NATO troops arriving had the peace accords been signed. Even they must be shocked at the degree their prediction have been fulfilled by the brutality unleashed by Milosevic Yesterday. I heard for the first time that refugees reported Serb forces have used flame throwers to kill and torture ethnic Albanians. As reports of refugees streaming out of Kosovo filled the airways. I returned to Albania earlier this month to visit the Kosovo border crossing at Kukes and Morina to meet and talk with refugees. What has happened is so terrible I see no way the world can turn its back on them. Immediate care is a critical problem and so is the longer term need to provide for them.
