There's also no innocents. Much of the killings were directed at KLA guerrillas and at suspected KLA sympathizers. There were women and children among the locals ambushing the Rangers in Somalia.

James Nicoll, I have been reading your posts and have to agree with the majority of all you have reasoned out. Thanks for posting. I think the only solution is for everyone to back off and take a breather, but I doubt it will happen, until the nuke goes off or NATO capitulates for some reason. I just can not believe we are smashing and obliterating an entire country and not expect to pay some detrimental consequence.

McCain is an idiot, glad he has shown his colors; we'll see how gutless the congress is now that it is in session. I believe clinton got us into this fiasco and encouraged NATO to deflect CHINA attention which is coming out this week in the COX report. Nothing done in this administration is without self-preservation motivation. Same ideology as Milo according to "Barry's" definitions and the actions of the involved individuals.

There is NO HONOR in this action. Jacalyn

<< I think it's obvious that refugee situation was accelerated by the NATO bombing. >>

This could be true. Slob Milosevic has been persecuting the Kosovo Albanians for about 10 years. He was massing troops on the Kosovo border. That is what caused NATO to act when they did.

<< Just remember though that Russia is a proud nation ... >>

Perhaps the people are, but the leaders are mostly incompetent crooks.

<< ... there could be enough pressure for Russia to act dramatically; tactical nuke strike of U.S. aircraft carrier. >>

I don't think so, though anything is possible. Russia will continue to hiss and shout. That way, they hope that they can get more money to steal from the IMF. Behind the scenes, I think that Russia and the US have good lines of communication.
