Les, I find it kind of strange that people thought that Milosevic would knuckle under so easily. First, he got several things from the Dayton agreement. He got nothing from Rambouillet. Second, if we look at the tremendous beating that Iraq took during the Gulf War, look how they are still hanging tough. They have kicked out the arms inspectors. They have been getting bombed for almost a decade. They were hit by the heaviest armada ever assembled in history. At this point, I think the Iraqis deserve some kind of award for actually surviving Desert Storm and maintaining their independence. Why should Milosevic be concerned? If anything, he is in a much better position to wage a war. Besides, the coalition is already crumbling. It appears that Hungary has stated that no ground war will come from them or their territory. So much for the much vaunted drive on Belgrade...not that I ever though Clinton/NATO had the mind to do it. -John
