> Your alternative resolution to the crisis?? A long time ago in this board I presented my solution: green cards to the Kosovars. This is the only way that peace can be brought in Kosovo now that Nato attacked a sovereign country for "humanitarian" reasons. Sad but true. > What should be our goals? What can we negotiate away? How do we deal with the Kosovars? A genuine peace agreement should have been presented to the Serbs and not the joke Rauimbaullet was. Kosovo remains a part of Yugoslavia and no independence is even hinted. KLA and Serb paramilitaries are disarmed (good luck) and the vast majority of Serb police and army is withdrawn under the auspices of a minimum of 50,000 armed UN forces. Of course all refugees (who want to return) return to Kosovo. Serb and Albanian leaders negotiate face to face under the auspices of UN or even Nato (these people will have to live with each other anyway). Massive reparations to rebuild and compensate all destruction caused by this senseless war. And rebuild Albania too! Hell throw a free PC paid by Gates as part of the antitrust settlement why not, it will look good in the polls for Clinton;) > Who will enforce any peace so that it becomes a lasting one?? I hope it is not Nato<g> Of course all of the above are pretty much unrealistic at this point. Too late, too many blunders... We are on the road to "we keep on bluffing and making it up as we go along". Sorry state of our foreign policy indeed.
