Well at first maddy was quite impatient with her own congress - that also wanted less action then her.
The military strength or weakness is not a thing freepers think much about - it’s dutyful US here and lazy EU there.
Surprisingly the world isn’t that simple - although I have to grant you that the actions against Milosevic would never have happened if the US didn’t grab the lead - it’s also tru that the US are actively taking the role to be a world super power with the attitude to allow no european super power next to it. (That’s what condi only recently said)
So there you are - you won the price. Now live with it.
I've not well explained myself. I don't see there being a prize, I don't see any particular winners in this affair and I have never understood our (US) policy.
I don't like referring to a movie for a serious matter but I thought No Man's Land. to be quite good. As an American, I particularly liked that the movie covered the period before the US took the lead. IIRC, the only mention of the US was the British commander telling a French officer that the Americans were becoming impatient.
