I know this off the main topic, but, sorry, I can't sit idly by while grossly distorted facts about Western intervention in the Yugoslavian conflict are being recklessly tossed around in this thread. (I know you guys don't mean to.) The US, Canada, and Western Europe bear responsibility for this tragedy, and none of them (NATO), particularly the US, is a knight in shining armor. Far from it.
The best source for the truth of this matter - what it was really all about, who caused it, and why - is our noble neighbor to the north, James Bissett, the former Canadian ambassador to Yugoslavia.
(Bissett is no mere pundit, nor is he a misinformed lefty with an agenda to push. Instead, he is a man who faithfully served his country and served it well, and woke up to the rudest awakening imaginable. Cliff should rightfully feel proud to claim Bissett as his fellow countryman; I certainly would be.)
Bissett's site should be required reading:
