This is true - we are in contants with several people from Bosnia 
and from Serbia - who worked in financial district area - they 
survived either the war in Bosnia or the NATO bombing of 
Yugoslavia - and they are all frightened that the war came after 
them. Some of them are actually in need of counseling, because 
they don't believe this is over now. It is also interesting how primary 
instinct of somebody who was once a victim of war is not to wish 
for revenge and retribution, but for peace and reconciliation. Those 
who see this recent attack on the US as a quid-pro-quo for NATO's 
bombing of Yugoslavia are usually not those who were running for 
shelters in Belgrade, but those who were then, as they are now, 
behind their computer terminals safely, somewhere in the non-
descript parts of the U.S.

I don't know about that, Francis.  NYC looked like Sarajevo for a while
there.  It still does downtown.  The victims, traumatized and frightened,
wouldn't quibble with semantics.  To them, war has come to America.  Can you
help me to understand why, in the legal sense, this is not considered an act
of war?  What are the characteristics missing?  Hope you have time to answer.
