3 different approaches to war are in conflict in Allied Force - the ideological approach from the jingoists on both sides, the scientific approach from the forces under Supreme Allied Commander Europe, and the realist approach from the terrorists on both sides.
The longer the crisis continues the more the grass roots measures will succeed over the other approaches - just like a crowd of stone-throwing protestors can send a helicopter packing.

That's interesting Gustave, we hear very little about such Western European ethnic squabbles in the States. I was in Germany last in 1993, and the cracks were starting to appear in that country's tolerance. Im sure it has been there all along, but to an outsider, it is hard to percieve such nuances without long immersion. The Cold War suppressed ethnic nationalism for many long years, its no wonder its practically exploding now.
