“The lines are a lot more clear now,” says Charles Ingrao, a professor of history at Purdue University and an expert on the Balkans. “The U.S. and NATO will now refuse to sign any agreement with an indicted war criminal. And now the Yugoslav army and Serbian people will begin to look at him as the easy solution to their problems. Either the army will depose him, or if he stays in power, NATO will go in on the ground.” The key paragraph in that article. There is growing dissent in Serbia, and I think FEW Serbs will be willing to continue rallying behind a leader who has been indicted as a was criminal. The Serbs have been led to believe, by Milosevic, that this war is being carried out against their sense of nationalism, thus deflecting blame away from him and the criminal acts of his cronies. That will no longer be the case and it will provide a sharper focus and "sound bite" diatribe against the real source of this crisis, Slobodan Milosevic. I'm sure the recent influx of refugees out of Kosovo has created additional pressure to directly implicate Milo and separate the Serb people from the gov't Kosovo policy (of course, I tend to opine that the Serb people bear a strong responsibility for empowering Milo). IMO, Milo has been shipping out more refugees as an attempt to disrupt NATO's logistical preparations for a ground war. Each Kosovar refugee required that much more logistical support, which detracts and competes with the material being accumulated for a groun force. Regards, Ron
