Comments from Senator McCain "We should consider sending ground troops in. We are better trained. Have superior technology - serbs using old soviet weapons. We will be able to defeat a country the size of Ohio." What??? This from a former Vietnam POW? Hello but that sounds like he was referring to the North Vietnamese. And what happened there? I have alot of respect for him but I was dumbfounded to hear those words.

Good points. The real goal of returning autonomy to Kosovo and allowing the Kosovo Albanians to live in peace is an abysmal failure; most are expelled and Kosovo is in ruins. Also, NATO goals have not been realized yet and are in serious jeopardy of ever being completed with airstrikes alone: Deter Milosevic, Determination (NATO), Destroy war machine. The only goal now appears to be to save NATO face by crushing Yugoslavia; as is evident in the new bombing strategy (civilian targets/buildings are okay now).
