This comments may appear naive but... FIrst I would be greatful if someone would explain to me how a US president could (almost ) unilaterally order the bombing raids ? I mean within the rule of law. It seems to me that the US military is such a vast machine, almost a country within a country, a government within a government, that if it didn't want to proceed with the bombing in the first place, it just would not. Then, it also seems to me that if anytime a president ran into trouble he could order strikes, we would see a lot more bombing around the world by American fighters... I guess my point is this: the establishment (military and civil) has decided that strikes are needed for whatever reason and the whole apparatus is set in motion. If Clinton was trying to manipulate the military at this time for political ends, wouldn't that be suicidal to say the least at this point in time? Therefore, the impetus to go ahead with strikes comes from a wider power base, and is not attributable to the president. Attempt to debunk that theory are welcome. I sure would like to find out more and not have to wait 25 years to do so. Regards Stephan
