Clinton continues to say that he would like to lift the embargo, but he's prevented from doing so by U.N. resolutions, by which he means the British, the French and the Russians. I can't recall an instance any time during the Cold War in which American policy was so demonstrably subordinated to the preferences of other countries. The embargo, in the case of Bosnia, is of very dubious legality. And I don't believe the French would end the sanctions against Iraq. The British certainly wouldn't do it.
Most experts say that air power alone never has been sufficient.
The opponents deliberately depreciate the value of air strikes. If you can designate targets, you can destroy them. And there are plenty of Bosnians who, armed with laser designators and other devices, would be delighted to locate mobile targets. Ironically, air strikes could save lives. We would target to minimize collateral damage.
