NATO has a problem on its hands. It is called Kosovo. Two years ago, in response to the mass ethnic cleansing of Kosovo Albanians, NATO bombed Yugoslavia for 78 days forcing Milosevic into retreat. The results of this bombing - a dangerous power vacuum in Kosovo itself, with Albanian nationalism spilling over viciously into neighbouring Macedonia and Southern Serbia; not to mention the plight of Kosovo's own Serbian minority after two years as victims of murder and mayhem. It seems the boot is firmly on the other foot. Has NATO perhaps been a touch naive?
