...course, an essential mission of the war was to give Kosovars the ability to choose for themselves. In Tent H-26 at the Stenkovec camp, the debate has begun. "Rugova's policies led us to this mess," says Rashit Hazir, a teacher from Pristina. "Only the K.L.A. can guarantee our protection." Counters Najle Cerkini, 33, a farmer's wife: "Rugova is a man of the West, and the West came to our rescue, not the K.L.A." After heated debate, a tentwide vote gives Rugova the victory, 5 to 3.

...will be leaving town. More troubling for Israel is that neither Syria nor Lebanon -- neither of whom are fans of the Hezbollah -- is in any rush to fill the resulting security vacuum. There's little enthusiasm in Beirut for helping the Israelis out of what is perceived as a mess of their own making. And any security deal would have to be approved by Syria, which holds a de facto military veto power over the decisions of the enfeebled authority in Beirut. Before covering Israel's back in southern Lebanon, Damascus wants to discuss Israeli withdrawal from the Syrian territory...
