A bungled war
Article Abstract:
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has not achieved its sims in the war against Serbia. More than half the population of Kosovo, Yugoslavia, havehad to leave their homes, Serbian military resources appear little affected, and there have been a number of accidents such as innocent people bombed by NATO. The West should not take on too many goals, since this is unrealistic, and there should not have been a statement that a ground war was to be avoided. There will also be a large refugee problem whether or not peace will be achieved.

Fault lines in the sand
Article Abstract:
A western-style defense academy has been set up near Tartu, Estonia, and was opened with representatives from different member countries from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). There is ambiguity in Nato in the relationship toward the Baltic states. Their readiness is not the only issue that is important in considering whether they should become NATO members, but whether NATO would be able to defend them against Russia, should Russia again become powerful.
