Would it be legal to use coercive force against any nation harboring such War
Criminals??


For the UN to do so, absolutely. And it works, though it takes time. The Lockerbie bombers got turned over, at last, after UN sanctions against Libya. No bombing needed.

That's authority enough for me to determine whether destabilization has occurred.

You may be willing to let Nato do your thinking for you. I prefer to do my own thinking for myself. And we won't know what is behind this "coalition" until the bills start coming due and getting paid, or the threats we issued start to emerge, as they eventually will.

Ron, how many of the 19 NATO countries would've gone along with the bombing if they had known in advance that the bombing would result in:

1. 800,000 Albanian refugees.
2. Hundreds of Serb and Kosovar civilians killed by NATO bombs.
3. The complete destruction of Serbia's infrastructure.
4. 69 days of bombing and Milo is still in charge.

My guess is two. The U.S. and Britain.
What's yours?
