I think in time the result would have been much the same with or without NATO. It just would have taken longer.

You appear to have missed the fact that the Yugoslav Army easily handled the UCK terrorist in 1999.

And the Bosnian Serb Army handled the Croatians and Muslims just as well.

I didn’t miss anything. Those same Yugoslav forces murdered enough civilians to guarantee decades more war if the Serbs did not pull out. I doubt an independent Kosovo will survive very long, but it’s here now. Just because the Serbs have a larger army than the pitiful Kosovars and a historical claim to the place doesn’t mean they’ll be able to hold Kosovo as their own. Those are just the realities of the situation.
