Milosevic has caught Nato still living by its Cold War creed
Article Abstract:
Nato has clearly shown in its military action against Serbia that it still believes that it can engage in conflict without losing any military personnel. There is a strong will to bring about the downfall of Serb President Slobodan Milosevic, but Nato lacks the means to do this because it is unwilling to risk the lives of ground forces. In contrast, Milosevic has no fear at all of losing troops. Nato action against Serbia is also hampered by the fact that western politicians are unwilling to risk the loss of any popularity.
