Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime
it protects, and the jihadi and Ba'athist 'resistance' alike.

Kosovo Leaders: Blasts Meant To Block Independence
3 July 2005 -- Kosovo's ethnic Albanian president says that three explosions in the capital Prishtina late yesterday were efforts to sabotage independence for the province.
The blasts shook a triangle of central Prishtina. No one was injured.
President Ibrahim Rugova said today that the aim of the perpetrators is to destablize the country and to influence a UN assessment of its stability.
UN envoy Kai Eide arrived in Kosovo on 1 July to begin an assessment of whether Kosovo -- a Serbian province now under UN administration -- has matured sufficiently to participate in negotiations on its future status.
The province's ethnic Albanian majority wants independence, but Kosovo's Serbian minority and its Serbian neighbors insist that it remains part of the federation of Serbia and Montenegro.
The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.

The Balkan region is intensely multicultural - a point of crossroads and clash for some of the world's major religions, cultural spheres, and economic systems. While there have been vicious wars in Balkan history, these have taken place in the context of manipulation by imperial powers and the self-serving local leaders who cater to them.
