Dwight,
Many people are still furious that Clinton beat them in the impeachment thing, so every event is merely an opportunity to continue the same personal attacks on Clinton that failed for two elections and the trial. Don't expect an unbiased discussion, expect only the same old name calling, and criticisms. If Clinton did it, it's bad, period. For example, notice the same people who oppose what Clinton is doing in Kosovo, also criticize him for not intervening in Rwanda and Sudan. How can anyone oppose intervention in Kosovo, yet demand intervention in other places without the strategic importance of Kosovo? Makes no sense, unless you understand that the point is to attack Clinton, not to discuss the situation.
It will take some time to build up the logistic support for the introduction of ground troops. People who demand instant victory watch too many Rambo movies. As news of just how brutal the acts being committed against the Albanians are, public opinion will be demanding ground troops at about the same time things are in place. Clinton will then have the political cover to escalate. If he had tried to do it too early the naysayers would have gone nuts, and they wouldn't have been ready anyway. My friends in the Army Special Air Operations were deployed a week ago, they'll be on the front lines of the operation.

Iam not on either side over there but in 1946 at the end of ww 2 Kosovo was 95% serbs ,so I have been told .The plan has been all along to squeeze out the serbs and sever off the state for expansion reasons of the Muslim religion .As far as calling Mulosevic a coward ,,the people of Yugoslavia have so much hate for these people they are putting presure on their president to take action and do something ,Aunit called the black tigers have been operating in the hills for a long time now doing lots of wrong to any local serb population they can find ,and the police could never catch them ,,now imagine something like this opperating in the hills of Tennessee and killing police at random .would the mighty US stand by ,there is no easy solution now it has gone on too long ,too much hate on both sides ,I feel these people caused a problem ,and now they are themselves a big problem ,and how do you solve it ,A lot of good people who dont deserve this ,large families ,for a population explosion was the name of the game ,now what
just my oppinion
