A corner ?
or
No lack of bombs
You can state the situation as equitably as you wish but the facts remain the same. NATO leaders agreed to take action and some allowance must be made for the intelligence reports that led to that action. I tend to put aside the theory that it is political. It isn't in Canada for sure, rrman's reflections aside. The course NATO has taken has resulted in very few casualties, and has a clear ending, capitulation on the part of those being bombed. I think that may have been the original intent and if it was, no corner ever existed.
The end may be near, it may get worse.
Milosevic's indictment matters, so do the bombs.
You are thinking about the people getting killed, NATO is thinking about the ultimate cost of allowing Milosevic's selective murder campaign to continue. It has nothing to do with history, it bears only upon the recent actions of Milosevic and the Government which yields to his authority, this Government allows the killing of citizens based on ethnic background. NATO, as an entity, probably has a better memory than most of us.
The 1.5 million refugees will probably be returning to a new political reality in Kosovo. They will be returning. They will have a lot of work to do. I would guess, Blue helmets everywhere. |
