< Because of that, I don't expect them to back off until Milosevic's military has been reduced to a smoldering wreck and even the most biased anti-NATO observers won't be able to claim that the Serbs achieved even a pyrrhic victory.>

How do you reconcile this view with the fact that NATO refuses to even admit it is at war with Serbia, and that Russia is being solicited with such fervor ?

Everything I hear in Europe tends to indicate that NATO is positioning itself to negotiate with Milosevic, and that fractures are starting to appear in the coalition.

I agree that once it had started, stopping the operation to soon and not escalating would have been a screw up. But stopping too late, given Milosevic's die hard attitude, and the political dimension of the crisis, may have even more disastrous effects. Let's hope for the best.
