Well, they could all be given wireless cell data/phone/gps systems to
vote with:

Anyone in favor of the enemy gets destroyed.
Then again, if the enemy owned the wireless data network
microcellular infrastructure, then they may have destroyed those who
disfavored *them*, before the allies had a chance to destroy *their*
enemies. It gets complicated.
Interesting to note that the Tesla Museum is located in Belgrade.
I wonder how many of IBM's SiGe PicoTimer(TM) transistors will be
sold to the Yugoslavian Serbs. The next genocide of Kosovars might
be speed of light? Makes you wonder about vote by phone!
