>>War is no longer about "winning". << Then why did Clinton start the bombing campaign? >>Economically, it's our backyard as well. << When this is over Yugoslavia will be just another panhandler on 7th avenue asking passersby for a quarter. >>I think this is all about the European Currency.<< By the time this war ends Europe will be pimping their teenage daughters for a gallon of gas. >>There is no winning...a slow submission was to be expected.<< That's exactly what Milosevic is doing to Clinton. >>We don't really know what "NATO's primary mission" is.<< To take over the world without anyone noticing. >>Most of us know nothing about what's actually going on behind the media images.<< Clinton is playing golf and Blair is playing polo. >>I simply say, it's time for Slobodan to save face before it becomes impossible to do so.<< Slobodan doesn't have to save face. Clinton is the one behind the eight ball. He started something that he can't finish without looking like a warlord.

Lorrie, not only are you on topic, but you're right. Thanks. I want to highlight: >>We don't really know what "NATO's primary mission" is. and >>Most of us no nothing about what's actually going on behind the media images. These two related statements are crucial to this entire mess. I've tried to stay out of debating the details of what's going on because the simple fact is that none of us know. The only info we get is what is happening, and I don't trust much of that. But nobody outside of the circle of power knows why any of this is happening. All we the people can do is to make (sometimes educated, often not) guesses about the truth. The only thing I'd differ with is that "it's time for Slobodan to save face before it becomes impossible to do so." I really don't think he needs to worry about saving face. There are enormous portions of human society that wish the U.S. nothing but ill, and they are certainly thrilled to see us discredit ourselves. In their eyes at least, Milosevic can only gain stature by withstanding our efforts. -BLT
