He said that he simply wouldn't make too much of it because many of those leaving came in from the countryside and dispossessed Muslims that had lived in the suburb for decades, that many of them have committed atrocities and they know who they are -- and they know that NATO and the War Crimes investigators know who they are. If that is so, then some of the furniture we see them carting off is furniture that belonged to the former occupants of the houses that they unlawfully occupied. In addition, I fear that the houses they set on fire before they left wasn't at all their family's homestead but that of some dispossessed people who will return to ashes left by terribly misguided folks of limited mental capacity (and no social conscience). It looks like my suggestion of a "hidden agenda" in the exodus (my last message) has some credibility. Does anyone want to comment on this? Oliver Seely
