If these alleged attrocities are being committed, then I don't see how dropping a bomb from 15,000 feet on a Yugo car factory will prevent any of these alleged tragedies. NATO's half-assed, incompetent operation has no visible win or exit strategy never mind a strategy for saving the Kosovo Albanians. This bombing campaign is a "feigned sympathy" move by the west. A half-ass operation that is analogous to Vietnam.

You can see no wrong with the inhuman Serb police murdering and raping and stealing. But, because I feel that these Serb criminal police should be stopped, I am vermin!? Garbage. Of course it is wrong. Of course the Serbian killings and "relocation" have to stop. But you can see how well 28 or so days of bombing have stopped it. Not at all -- in fact, thousands MORE have been killed and hundreds of thousands driven from their homes. When a doctor trying to kill a canceer tries a procedure and it doesn't kill the cancer but starts destroying the liver, the Doctor STOPS and tries something else. Clinton keeps right on with the medicine until the patient is dead. Then he says "well, the cancer is dead, so we won." Hip hip hooray. The question is NOT, as you keep trying to claim, whether those of us opposed to this bombing want the Serbs to keep on killing and looting and driving people out. On the contrary, We WANT to stop it. But we recognize that the bombing is INCREASING it. The patient is dying. It's time to try something else (like diplomacy by somebody who understands the full dynamics of the situation and isn't into wagging dogs for personal gain.)
