James:

Even NATO officials agree that only with air power the Serbs will not go out of
Kosovo.  Yet, they are not going to send ground troops.

I just think that what happens there is stupid...and it gets worse...

What are 6-10 BILLION DOLLARS spent for then?  Just to see how an "invisible"

multi-million dollar stealth fighter is brought down by an old missile?  How
the multi-million dollar high-tech missiles can not be redirected before
hitting a civilian train? Or maybe how the same multi-million dollar missiles
hit civilian residential areas instead of empty military buildings?  Or maybe
watching Albanians killed by a missile coming from their "savior" ?

Or deepening the hatred between those nations to the point where everything will
just blow up in Balkans? Worsening the economic situation for all the countries
in that area? Causing an ecological disaster from the chemical and oil plants
struck by NATO missiles?

It's easy from here: it's like a NINTENDO game, isn't it? But when the NATO
troops go home after they get bored with the game (see Vietnam, Somalia, Korea,
etc) what is left there is DISASTER.  Not for Milosevici and his gang, but for
the regular folks.

And the game's  prize is known to anybody who has some brain: Save the face of
NATO at any price - no matter how many  "colateral" killings occur...
