So you think there's a deal to be done on the basis of (i) Milosevic stops
the killing, (ii) people *with* *papers* are allowed back into Kosovo,
(iii) the U.S. and E.C. contribute massive amounts of aid to Serbia, (iv)
the eternal union of Kosovo and Serbia is proclaimed, and (v) *unarmed*
peacekeepers are allowed in Kosovo?
I think that's the most that Milosevic would accept. And I don't think that
Clinton feels he could accept it (although I think he should)...
