Christopher, Stratfor omits an essential equasition for NATO-they can't afford to go into the Winter with refugees in camps..(not that Clinton care, but public opinion would not stand for that..thus solution must be found in next few weeks or else..(ground war or at least preparations orsettlement on Milosevic terms)

>> That is the most extraordinary fact: Kosovo refugees and the bombing of Serbia aside, no one at all seems to feel a sense of urgency.<< Amazing.... Andy

These two passages are right on : <<In an odd way, Clinton and Milosevic are similar men. They are willing to fight wars for domestic political reasons even when the strategic issues could be settled fairly readily. Each knows that the victory he wants is impossible. Clinton cannot invade Serbia and impose a new government. Milosevic will not be able to avoid foreign troops in Kosovo. Each is more concerned about how the final, obvious agreement will be arrived at than what that agreement will contain, because each knows pretty much what will be in the agreement. It is not a question just of stubbornness, although both are extraordinarily willful men. Rather, it is the reasoning behind fighting wars.>> <<.... That is the most extraordinary fact: Kosovo refugees and the bombing of Serbia aside, no one at all seems to feel a sense of urgency. This has surprised us during the past few weeks and it continues to surprise us. However, if we had looked closely at the careers of these two men, perhaps we would have been less surprised. For men to whom appearance is everything, how war is settled can be more important than what is achieved. >>
