...video was also a worrisome metaphor for the strike itself. In the days after last Wednesday night's initial air attack, the anger and determination that brought NATO and Yugoslavia head-to-head seemed to snake out like that tiny flame in the video, triggering all kinds of "secondaries." On Saturday night the combat came home to Americans, who had their television shows interrupted by images of an F-117A Stealth fighter in flames on the ground inside Yugoslavia--and the astonishing story of the rescue of the downed pilot. Earlier in the week U.S. embassies from Moscow to Paris...

Moscow has been arguing against using force for months, and Prime Minister Yevgeni Primakov was in the air bound for Washington last week when the decision to bomb was made.

The reason, reports TIME U.N. correspondent William Dowell, is that the Iraqis have succeeded in accomplishing some of their immediate goals and they can enjoy the respite provided...
...attacks, President Clinton promised the nation that no American ground troops would be sent into Yugoslavia, although it seems doubtful that much can be accomplished from the air. Whether Milosevic will be deterred from his grip on Kosovo remains to be seen; it seems inevitable, however, that Milosevic will never voluntarily withdraw troops from the bitterly disputed territory that, while 70 percent ethnic Albanian, is claimed as the historical and spiritual heartland of the Serb...
