Come on, Yoshie, do you think for a single second that the US is running that operation? This was an EU show from the very start. We're just the hired help, bit actors in a long-running tragedy which, apparently, has at least another decade to run. My sense is the EU wants ground forces in Kosovo to keep the peace, and the bombing is just the first step in this direction. NATO, bad cop; EU, good cop. This is how rising metropoles become full-fledged hegemons.
