<<What happens if the bombing isn't enough? Do we send in troops and tanks?>>> "Again,, YES... And you would have to be a total idiot to think it will be enough." If we are smart we will keep our American Ground forces out of this area. During WW 2 Hitler put 32 divisions into this area and never could push out the serbs. They fought a guerilla action and lived in the ground. They are very tough cookies. Completely different situation than Iraq/Kuwait. They are well equipped well trained motivated forces. It would be a very bloody fight. JMO Lee Edit, but I too agree that airpower alone will not be enough to get them to stop...so what is the solution...I like many others think we had no business there in the first place.

What role should the U.S. play in that NATO position?"<< NATO is fighting for the Coca Cola bottling rights for all of Serbia. The U.S. has promised NATO that they will never allow Pepsi to muscle in on their territory. >>"4. Why doesn't the United Nations take the lead?"<< The United Nations supports Wendys and says it's not their war. >>"5. Are we going to bomb to save face after NATO backed down so many times in the past?"<< We are going to continue the bombing until every Albanian restaurant is completely destroyed. >>"What happens if the bombing isn't enough? Do we send in troops and tanks?"<< Absolutely. Some of these restaurants are located underground and in caves. >>"7. How do we get troops and tanks out of the country?"<< The troops and tanks will remain to prevent rebels from opening new ethnic food restaurants. >>"8. Will fighting resume after we pull out and if so, are we just delaying the destruction?"<< McDonalds, Coca Cola, the troops and tanks will remain in Serbia forever to defend what is rightly ours.
