...Slobodan Milosevic may have backed down rather than expel a Western monitor, but he's winning the game. "Milosevic wants to keep terrorizing Kosovo's Albanians, and the West wants to stop him but isn't prepared to do that by bombing," says TIME Central Europe bureau chief Massimo Calabresi. "They're going to be so relieved that he's backed down over the monitors that they'll let him off the hook for last week's massacre...
...Slobodan Milosevic may look like a pushover compared with some of Richard Holbrooke's Washington adversaries. A New York Times report Thursday that the administration's U.N. ambassador-nominee faces new charges of ethics violations concerning business contacts with the U.S. embassy in South Korea could signal "a behind-the-scenes power struggle," says TIME U.N. correspondent William Dowell.

But Sunday's renewed Serb attack on the village where 45 civilians were butchered on Friday shows Milosevic doesn't believe the West has the will...
...Slobodan Milosevic has good reason to be paranoid. NATO on Wednesday swooped down on the Bosnian countryside to arrest General Radislav Krstic, the commander of the Bosnian Serb unit that massacred 8,000 Muslim men in the U.N. "safe haven" of Srebrenica in 1995. "Even though he was on leave in Serbia at the time, Krstic would have had to authorize the killings," says TIME correspondent Edward Barnes. "He'll also be able to answer questions over Milosevic's involvement in the most important massacre...
