While they are at it, might as well bomb everyone under the excuse war is hell. The top purpose of the bombing, we were told, was to prevent the conflict from spreading. There is no denying that purpose has failed.

Ted Turner: Nuclear War in Future
Saturday, May 8, 1999; 9:05 p.m. EDT
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- Ted Turner told University of Georgia graduates today to keep thinking and learning, then rained on their parade by suggesting that NATO bombing in Yugoslavia could lead to nuclear war.
``Here's the class of '99, and y'all are just starting out.
Wouldn't it be terrible to have nuclear war in the next week
or two and mess up y'alls careers before they have gotten
started?'' Turner said in a commencement address to 5,000
graduates.
Turner, who founded CNN, said that as a child during the
Cold War he worried that he wouldn't live to see the end of
the millennium. At age 60, he said he has the same worries.
Referring to the NATO bombing of China's Embassy in
Belgrade, Turner said: ``If we drop a bomb on the Russian
Embassy, we could be at war with Russia and China
tomorrow, and they both got lots of nuclear weapons. We
might not even get to see the millennium.''
