Margaret, do you really believe that there will be an outcome of the Kosovo
adventure other than boosting defence spending in the US (and perhaps in
Europe) and subsequent economic boom translating into political support for
the current administrations?  You must be joking when you suggest that
Clintons and Blairs have any concern whatsover for any human life that
cannot be immediately transformed into a vote, no?
