Invading Kosovo: a battle plan; a ground attack would be brief, costly -and successful
Article Abstract:
A successful ground troop invasion into Kosovo would require about 100,000 allied soldiers to overtake Serb police, paramilitary and Yugoslav Army troops. Combat deaths are estimated to reach 10,000-30,000 on the Serbian side with figures including hundreds of NATO troops. The campaign would take between 30-60 days from the initial assault which would penetrate Serb border defenses to the brutal fighting in villages, cities and in house-to-house combat.

What do we do now?
Article Abstract:
NATO bombs that hit the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade killed four and wounded about 20 people. Although NATO officials confessed they targeted the embassy by mistake thinking it was the Federal Directorate for Supply and Procurement, an arms-trading company, the incident provide evidence of NATO's failures. Many believe its reflective of NATO's goal of defeating Slobedan Milosevic without risking ground troops.

New world disorder
Article Abstract:
The 1999 conflict between NATO and the former Yugoslavia in the province of Kosovo has destabilized international alliances. China and Russia oppose the war, and this has weakened US relations with these countries. NATO has trapped itself in the Balkans, a situation of which Russia approves. A careful examination of US foreign policy is urgently needed.
