< Because of that, I don't expect them to back off until Milosevic's military has been reduced to a smoldering wreck and even the most biased anti-NATO observers won't be able to claim that the Serbs achieved even a pyrrhic victory.> How do you reconcile this view with the fact that NATO refuses to even admit it is at war with Serbia, and that Russia is being solicited with such fervor ? Everything I hear in Europe tends to indicate that NATO is positioning itself to negotiate with Milosevic, and that fractures are starting to appear in the coalition. I agree that once it had started, stopping the operation to soon and not escalating would have been a screw up. But stopping too late, given Milosevic's die hard attitude, and the political dimension of the crisis, may have even more disastrous effects. Let's hope for the best.

Sounds like you have a neat tee shirt, one that you can be proud of. <<The sad truth is, Milosevic had a chance to stop the hostilities even after they had started by backing down and allowing NATO it's symbolic victory and ceasing it's oppression of the Kosovar Albanians. >> Sadder still, NATO had a chance last weekend to slow this thing down and bring some sanity to it. But no. When Milosevic took a step back NATO doubled it's efforts. Now the Serbs have stepped up their attacks and expanded them. This is going to snowball into one hell of a mess. I have heard reports some of the Albanians are blaming the US for the increase in the killings.
