The mistaken bombings of civilians and of the Chinese Embassy have intensified those feelings, foreign policy analysts say. And that is striking a chord internationally. Even in some countries that have shown support for the allies, doubts are surfacing. The United States and NATO have unilaterally decided that the Serbs are the bad guys.

Opposition appears to be growing fastest in the developing world.
Since the end of the Cold War, many developing nations grudgingly have come to accept the United States as an economic model and leader. At the same time, many analysts say, the war has so graphically underlined U.S. status as the sole superpower that it has sparked resentment. Such feelings have been exacerbated by the impression that the United States and NATO have largely ignored the United Nations and international opinion in launching the air campaign. Nevertheless, skepticism is becoming widespread and varied. In the Middle East, where the West was widely criticized for failing to come to the aid of Muslims during the Bosnian war earlier this decade, few Arab voices defend NATO's efforts to protect the largely Muslim Kosovo Albanians.
