Apparently, Milosevic has announced that the G-8 proposals were acceptable for Yugoslavia, provided the process is taken over by the UN. Let's see what happens now...

Neocon, Your benign-neglect mindset when dealing with the US's main diplomatic partners/allies is disarming... Here you go again: ...when a more credible threat of invasion may have worked in NATO's favor.... Now, tell me what kind of organization NATO is?? Keep in mind that NATO is not the Presidential Guard of Bill Clinton!! It's not up to the White House only to send NATO over here... and then over there... and then back here again... without consulting the other European members of NATO!! So, what you call a ''credible threat of invasion'' would HAVE KILLED Operation Allied Force when it was still a paper wargame! France, Italy, Germany --not to speak of Greece-- would never have bought an ''invasion kit''. The only reasonable tactics for the US was a gradual conflict: first the starting kit (fully equipped with cutting-edge B2s and F-117s) then the advanced upgrade (Apaches, ground troops in Albania,...), and finally, the Master package, that is a full-blown, overkill storming of Kosovo. Get the picture? Regards, Gustave.
