Alvis' remarks focused on why NATO, a defensive alliance, has entered the conflict and possible outcomes of the fighting.
The evening began with two 20-minute speeches by Charles Crawford, a Weatherhead Center for International Affairs (WFCIA) fellow and former British ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Col. Michael W. Alvis, another WFCIA fellow and former military assistant to the Assistant Secretary of the Army.
"I really think this Kosovo situation is going to be a reality check for a lot of the bad habits we've developed," Alvis said.
Alvis, following Bass's lead noted that the situation in Kosovo will teach the public and the media that war cannot always be limited to a brief and decisive air campaign.
Alvis agreed that Milosevic is not the sole problem.
