Hiya,

Isn't interesting how the Kosovars seem to have completely disappeared
from Virilio's analysis of their own national liberation war. This
master-thinker is so excited by American technology that he misses that
most of the serious fighting against the Serbian occupation forces was
carried out by the UCK partisans using relatively low-tech weapons. Since
this all happened 'off camera', it might as well not have happened for
Virilio...

Later,

Richard
