Subject: Baudrillard on Kossovo


Dear folks

Does anybody in this list has heard about any Baudrillard's public 
expression related to recent Kosovo actuality ? Has he written any 
short article in the Press ? I was wondering on his probable reaction 
on this vain collective stupidity called air strikes. I hope too that he 
will not repeat himself telling that the air bombings did not occur 
at all as he said during the Gulf war. LA GUERRE DE KOSSOVO EXISTE
and is going on its bloody path and the proofs are numerous coffins
passing everyday from Salonica's airport even if Nato officials have 
admitted only two pilots of helicopters dead in Albania during exercises.

My suspicion is that we are too much badly informed in an era of
pluralism of voices and poly-phony turns to be rather a caco-phony.

Under this point of view Baudrillard's opinion should be very interesting.
What simulacra are still hidden from our view ?

Nikos
