Excellent link. NATO is not within their mandate to strike Yugoslavia; their mandate is to protect NATO-member nations from attacks from non-member nations. I think NATO nations have insulted Russia and Yugoslavia by acting so quickly and forcefully. Polls taken in the UK indicate that 70% of the population is against the raid. In the U.S. they are about divided 52%-48%. An analogy to the situation would be: 1. A large ethnic group X in New York decides they wish to have a autonomy. 2. The area consists 90% of X and 10% of mixed race Americans. 3. X makes requests to the government for autonomy yet the government (of course) denies it. 4. X begins making terrorist assaults on the government officials in their region AND the 10% minority of the mixed race americans residing there; killing policemen in the area and innocent families. ** now you tell me whether the U.S. government would not respond with the same force on X as the Yugoslavic government is currently doing ?
