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.''
