I don't think so. Now we got a huge humanitarian refugee problem...They can not be taken care of unless they are either taken elsewhere or taken back to their homes. So SM can be "forced" to take them back because I believe the European countries do NOT want them, in fact, noone wants them (sure a country here and there may pick up a few thousand, and most of them for temporary refuge). But their numbers are too great and will probably get larger well before a dozen helicopters fly in and by the months it will take a credible ground force you will see so many of them dead that will make the African famines look like nothing.

The European govts did not expect this problem and do not like it at all and hopefully they will find a diplomatic way out of this mess soon before these people start dying in mass numbers!

Bottom line, the Serbs will not give up Kosovo and the Nato powers are too scared of comitting ground troops to achiever their "stated" goals. So the cowardly act of bombing towns in the north goes on...
