Rising Danger of Simultaneous Crises in Iraq and Kosovo

Summary

Something odd is going on. The Iraqis are not allowing the
latest crisis to die down, but are challenging U.S. aircraft with
missiles and are deploying forces southward. Their newspapers
are full of threats directed toward Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. At
the same time, the Serbs deliberately carried out a massacre that
was intended to be detected, and then intentionally exacerbated
the crisis by trying to expel a senior diplomat. There is now
the real possibility that Baghdad and Belgrade are coordinating
their actions to simultaneously pose challenges that strain U.S.
military capabilities. At the same time, Russia has taken on a
much more assertive role, demanding that the U.S. not attack
either Iraq or Serbia. The U.S. Post-Cold War coalition has
completely broken down. Russia, France and China are all
resisting the U.S. A window of opportunity has opened here for
the Iraqis and Serbs. We see signs that they are now taking
advantage of it, perhaps in concert."
