<< ... why don't you just drop a few nuclear weapons near Kosova and blame ALL the deaths on Milosevic? >> I blame Slob Milosevic for most of the bloodshed and destruction in Yugoslavia over the last 10+ years. He is a brutal fascist dictator. You can suck up to Slob Milosevic all you want. You can glorify his racism. You can glorify the brutality and inhumanity of his military police thugs. Slob Milosevic's world sounds like the kind of world that you want. You are not alone. There are many people who do not have compassion for others, and see nothing wrong with racial hatred.

Michael, you are of course correct that to blame retaliation on the one beaten requires that the retaliation be justified and proportional. In a situation involving warfare, it is impossible to guarantee that non- combatants will be unharmed, and therefore if the use of force is reasonable, the one who provoked it is responsible for the collateral damage. The disagreement, therefore, revolves around the appropriateness of NATO's actions. Unfortunately, since I think that the manner in which they proceeded was avoidable and ill- planned, I have to side with you in saying that NATO, and especially the Administration, deserve much of the blame for the collateral damage. However, they do not deserve all, since the prospect of a catastrophe inspired by Milosevic prompted their actions...
