Mr Milosevic may want to rid himself of all the Kosovo Albanians, but he must know that their total eviction, even if achievable, will force the West into naming him as a war criminal and commit NATO to a persistent campaign against his country. He may therefore opt for a policy which allows NATO to claim some victory. This will consist of dividing Kosovo, retaining Serb control over the northern part of the province, while leaving the southern part of Kosovo as a vast refugee camp. NATO troops will then march in unopposed in order to protect the Albanians. This will allow Western governments to claim that they have committed ground troops, but also reassure them that these troops will not suffer many casualties.
Every war begins with a set of intentions and ends with a completely different outcome.
Kosovo is unlikely to be an exception.
