Milosevich isnt budging on cease fire agreements proposed by the UN and endorsed by the Security Council and agreed to by NATO. Its likely that Milo isnt going to take the bait now that he percieves he has the upper hand, having achieved his goals in Kosovo. So, NATO is upping the ante. The NATO strategy up until a couple days ago was to decimate Yugoslavian military ability to wage offensives, thats been accomplished despite all naysayers here. The past few days NATO has begun concentrating on infrastructure, we're going to step that up. Why? To make the price for intransigence very high indeed. It has taken over a decade of investment to build up Yugoslavian industrial, transportation, and communication infrastructure. The message is cave now or we're going to erase a decade of progress.

Douglas - you are missing - the calls for high school drop outs to SIGN up for service - the suspension on not accepting high school graduates has been lifted - they need warm bodies. You aren't missing much - we are at the commencement of WWIII and I hope we are equipped to fight terrorism because that is the new wave. This administration hasn't proven it can operate based on what has and is known - let alone be innovative and anticipatory. But it is NOT JUST THE ADMINISTRATION - the blame has to lie on those who have rolled over and not spoken out against this action; lame and gutless. Oh yeah, you missed the added cost of fuel and the rise in inflation, the drag on our economy, the drop in the quality of life from top to bottom - most effecting the middle and bottom which will become a blur once the credit crunch hits. Gonna be a rocky road; the majority of people interviewed live on the street do not want this action; the press polls indicate an INCREASE in our involvement - pentagon propaganda puppets. What releases in past involvements by the pentagon have been truly credible - that alone should be cause for concern and caution by what is being pumped out over the tube. The plight of the refugees has been exacerbated and probably permanent in the loss of their home and replacement will be negligable, completely hostile. None of this is going to hit home in the US until some of our capitols are flattened with wanton disregard and arrogance. Actions speak louder than words, if Clinton said we were going in for humanitarian reasons, the definition of humanitarian leaves too much to be desired, as do many of his definitions. Contemptible is the least he should be charged with and found guilty - genocide is the big ticket for the encore he has ensured. It is no longer a matter of legacy it is a matter of degree of lunacy and the show has just begun. If Nostradamus could predict this shit 500 years ago, must be something big by July. Time to go hug your family and gather strength. Good luck, Jacalyn BTW - thanks for that other post re: "where the humanitarian aid stops". I just heard Hillary is going to Niagara Falls to "test the waters" for her run for governor. These people are sooo arrogant and shameless too. Even cockroaches try to get out of the light. You're not missing anything - this is Alice in Wonderland - they are painting the roses red.

There is something innately evil in waging an air-only-war from 30,000 feet. Just pressing buttons and dropping bombs, civilians don't stand a chance. There is something in the "cleanliness" of the this whole thing that is so evil and really bothers me. "What your missing" is that NATO is too chicken to put ground troops down until Yugoslavia is practically a crater. To make Yugoslavia a crater they need more planes. >>(almost all US) to 1,000+ aircraft..... What am I missing here????
