<<Not true. The US intentionally and deliberately decided not to seek UN approval of the bombing campaign, as Bush did in Iraq with such success. Clinton knew what the answer would be; he can't bully the UN the way he can bully NATO.>>

LOL! Are you aware of who the permanent members of the Security Council are? It practically *is* NATO:

US
Britain
France
Russia
China

NATO did not go to the UN because Russia and China would have immediately vetoed any resolution. Why would Russia and China do this, especially in light of the fact that Milo probably would have backed down without Russian support? Because Russia and China both have a vested interest in defeating such a measure and in condemning NATO. Politics. Once again I say, Russia could have prevented this before it started, simply by browbeating Milo. They did not, they would have vetoed any SC resolution, and they have profited greatly.
