<<Jacalyn, I can understand intervention for humanitarian reasons and to protect the Albanian minority (Majority in Kosovo but really a minority within Yugoslavia proper). I back that idea. But I don't like sending in a 1,000 warplane armada and crushing all the life out of Serbia either. A few troops on the ground or an economic embargo would have done the trick IMO without killing hundreds of innocent Serbians and triggering the Serbian Police Force attacks on Albanians in Kosovo too IMO....>>

Douglas, whose troops exactly would you propose being put on the ground? When? This bombing campaign started when Milosevich refused to have a foreign force on Yugoslavian territory. Embargo? Embargos dont work, period. As to bombing "triggering" attacks on Albanians, Serbian security forces have been attacking Albanians in Kosovo for a decade.
