This, too, is a grand delusion. Radovan Karadzic continues to sip espresso under the noses of NATO patrols, and, at least until the war made a Milosevic indictment attractive, the Hague tribunal had to go crawling to Washington to get even minimal support. The air force bombing Belgrade includes planes from NATO member Turkey, whose ethnic cleansing of Kurds makes Milosevic look like a piker. Liberals calling for a ground invasion want a good war that doesn't exist, by a morally motivated NATO that doesn't exist, with human-rights objectives that don't exist. Their cheerleading for war is based on a stack of if-onlys that function like an interventionist pyramid scheme.
Morality also demands consideration of the broader consequences.
Also, as of May 25 the Clinton Administration was prosecuting the war in defiance of the War Powers Act, which requires Congressional approval within sixty days of commencing hostilities. The issue is now before US District Court Judge Paul Friedman in Washington. War fever is not a juggernaut just yet. That is thanks in large part to the German Greens, who have balked at their government's participation in such madness. But the barriers to a massive ground invasion are being systematically eroded by the Anglo-American interventionist lobby.
