Izzat so? Tell that to the Germans, Chris. From today's NY Times:

"The British plan [to prepare for a NATO ground assault against Serbian troops], however, was greeted Wednesday with undisguised contempt by Chancellor Gerhard Schröder of Germany. Under political pressure from pacifists in his own coalition Government, Schröder told a closed-door meeting of NATO ambassadors that Germany wanted the air war to continue but would not back a ground attack."
