"Are you Americans crazy enough to bomb us over our security police?" he asked. "Yeah," Holbrooke quietly replied, "we are." The deal he won in Belgrade, which calls for a Serbian pullback and 2,000 "verifiers" to help assure a peace, comes from Holbrooke's understanding of how the Serb leaders think, a process of brutal rationality...
