Deconstructing Yugoslavia

<< As the NATO air campaign against Yugoslavia enters its second month, allied bombing has achieved one significant result: the destruction of large chunks of the country's economic infrastructure.

The economy, already reeling from the effects of eight years of international sanctions and decades of mismanagement, is being dismantled piece by piece. Yugoslav officials say that the damage from NATO bombs has reached the $100 billion mark. By some estimates, the bombing has set Yugoslavia back one or even two decades. >>

NATO Widens Security 'Map'

<< Commanders Get New Authority To Pick Yugoslav Bombing Targets

U.S. officials said yesterday that the NATO leaders, meeting privately Friday, gave their military commanders broad new authority to strike politically important targets throughout Yugoslavia -- including some that primarily affect civilians -- without going through the cumbersome process of gaining approval from all 19 NATO members.

Morning Searle,

Actually, it looks like General Clark is in almost complete charge ... He's the guy that suggested the best way to handle Russia's supply of oil to Yugoslavia would be aerial bombardment of the pipeline that runs through Hungary. He also proposed bombing Russian warships that enter the battle zone.

Looks like he may get his chance yet!

Madness.
