This reinforces the Salon article that Nathan quoted. The discussion on the BBC is about the inevitably of continued mistakes if the sole method of the war is high level air attacks. I am sure the article is correct that there is a difference between leftists in the US and in Europe.
Public opinion in Britain has been favouring a ground attack. This latest disaster is as likely to strengthen that view as to weaken it.
Apparently among the forces holding back the Apache helicopters is the Pentagon warning about the risk from Serb air defences.
What is not clear is why there is a reluctance to arm the Kosovans.
