James,

The reason Clinton and Albright went to NATO was
because they knew that there would be no UN support
for an airwar against Yugoslavia. In fact, 2 of
the 5 permanent members are voraciously opposed
to this bombing campaign. The military action is
also a violation of the NATO charter which only
allows for military action if a NATO member is
attacked. Yugoslavia threatened nobody. All they
tried to do was defeat a rebel army that was trying
to break away territory that the Serbs have had
centuries of cultural, military, and religous ties.

Its also interesting to note that Milosevic told
Clinton that he would ethnically cleanse the region
if NATO bombed. I guess Clinton thought he could
stop him. Bubba was outfoxed on that one.
