...K.L.A., as U.S. officials are quick to point out, is not going to become a 1990s version of the contras, the U.S.-backed insurgent group that fought to overthrow a communist regime in Nicaragua in the 1980s. For starters, no one wants to use the K.L.A. to overthrow Slobodan Milosevic. And no one wants the war to go on long enough for the K.L.A. to assume contra-like proportions. Most important, however, NATO officials are worried that a well-armed and well-trained K.L.A. would veer into radicalism. K.L.A. officials such as Salihu, for instance, unabashedly say the only route...
...refugees, stupid. As NATO planes conducted their heaviest bombing yet on Thursday night, the alliance's political leaders were hard at work shoring up flagging public support for the campaign. President Clinton again compared Slobodan Milosevic's campaign in Kosovo with the Holocaust, and the First Lady visited refugees in Macedonia Friday and likened their plight to that of the characters in "Schindler's List" and "Sophie's Choice."

"Milosevic imposed the same condition on the Bosnia peace agreement," says TIME Central Europe reporter Dejan Anastasijevic. "He has a lot of blood on his hands...
...good an opportunity for Slobodan Milosevic to resist. With NATO under mounting pressure from China, Russia and even some of its own members to stop bombing Yugoslavia, the Serbian leader announced Monday that he'd ordered some of his troops out of Kosovo and offered to reduce his forces to "peacetime levels" if NATO halts its air campaign. Milosevic is unlikely to withdraw all his forces -- many are involved in daily skirmishes with the Kosovo Liberation Army along the Albanian border -- but any significant retreat will sharply raise pressure on NATO to call off the bombers. "Last week President Clinton...
Earlier this week, the Reverend Jesse Jackson traveled to Belgrade on a "mission of faith." Jackson met with Serbian dictator Slobodan Milosevic, joined hands in prayer with him and succeeded in securing the release of three American POWs...
