Kosovo?s armed peace may be turning into a bigger headache for NATO than the war was ?- because this time, the alliance doesn?t know who to support. U.S. troops overnight Wednesday rushed to the rescue of their Russian comrades in the village of Dobrcane, firing over the heads of a crowd of ethnic-Albanians pelting the Russians with rocks.

Aided by the D.C. law firm Akin, Gump (where President Clinton's friend Vernon Jordan is a partner), Idris won the release of $25 million that Washington seized last August. If Idris sues, he'll face a formidable obstacle: a senior Administration official says the government will argue that its attack is covered by a doctrine of international law known as sovereign immunity and cannot be challenged in court. Disagreement persists...
