Yugoslavia shells Albania

In typical Balkan fashion, the war in Yugoslavia has now spread to Albania. On April 
11, Yugoslavia shelled border towns in Albania, not just primarily Albanian Kosovo.

A journalist and three members of the Kosovo Liberation Army tried to cross into 
Kosovo from Albania when the shelling hit and injured them.

It's very important to realize that no war goes exactly as planned even by a 
superpower such as the United $tates. The world population can no longer afford 
these sorts of ad-hoc wars on behalf of the international capitalist system. We must not 
permit the ruling class to take chances with our lives for the benefit of their inherently 
unstable world order.
