The Washington Post and NY Times articles on the "road to war" make it
pretty clear that this has been Mad Albright's show. Back in January,
she personally came up with the idea of threatening war if Yugo didn't
accept a diktat. A State Dept. official is quoted as saying one of their
"biggest difficulties" was convincing the Europeans that the Yugo
government was the proper object of aggression.
