Cant say I missed you Hodgkin.

The first thing you do in any war is to cut the lights, blockade the country, and destroy the infrastructure that feeds the war machine. Not only was this not done immediately, it has been done willy-nilly. The goal is to make Milosevich feel the pressure of erasing all the gains Serbia has made in the past decade, not total war.

If we had intended to use overwhelming air power in Yugoslavia, that country would be a parking lot by now. That, I believe, is Neo's point.
