****OT***

RE: . With 50 civil wars going on around the world, many of which having taken a much higher human toll than Kosovo, ask yourself why we chose this one to flex our muscles.

I see these kind of statements a lot in the context that this is like the other conflicts, and I don't get it... (not necessarily you, BTW)

How many other conflicts are as likely to destabilize the world? The Congo? This area already started at least one world war.

My guess is the US knows this thing is about to spread anyway, and this is the only chance to stop it. A no win situation....as usual.

If peace in Yugoslavia is so critical to the EU, why involve the US at all? Why don't they make it a non-NATO effort and instead send in a multinational force of Germans, French, and British?

How did this become an American issue?

FWIW

And I would add that NATO was formed as a defense force for "Atlantic Europe", and was never meant to be used to invade sovereign countries. So it is being misused, but that means absolutely nothing to the likes of Albright (I call her Alldull) and Clinton, who has zero shame about ANYTHING. Yogi
