There are no obvious solutions if the parties on the ground are unwilling to call it quits. Even now the odds are that the sanctions finally imposed last week by the U.S., the European Community and the U.N. Security Council will not stop the bloodshed before Serb leader Slobodan Milosevic achieves, by dint of arms, his apparent aim of forging a Greater Serbia...
...specified that they'll only take a Serb or a Croat or a Muslim," says Vidanka Misic of the Red Cross. "The people who want to help don't care whom they help."

But moral suasion, coupled with the explicit threat of economic sanctions, has as yet achieved nothing. Instead, the warfare among Serbs, Croats, Slovenes and Slavic Muslims has given the world a lesson in the true -- and terrible -- meaning of the often loosely used term Balkanization.
