President Clinton has been concerned about his legacy. He needs to heed the plight of LBJ, then declare a great victory and leave the way Nixon did. As Germany's Eastern Front collapsed under the Russians' assault the Nazi's speeded the liquidation of Jews. Then, before committing suidcide, Adolf Hitler ordered destruction of what was left of the German economy. Our strategy in Serbia assumes a rational leadership of the country.
History points in a different direction.
We will regret the decision to veer away from the Powell Doctrine.
