Seed...To some extent I agree with your assessment that the Russians have been ignored since the commencement of the bombing, and that that scorn serves no purpose for them or for the west. But were they not closely involved in the negotiations that preceded this conflict, negotiations that resulted in an agreement that Milosevitch then proceeded to violate? And I don't buy the argument that mass genocide was a natural outgrowth of the sad state of the German economy. The US, as well as many other countries, saw their economies collapse in the 1930s. Our answer was the New Deal, and public works projects that left a lasting positive legacy. We were led by a brilliant and good man, the Germans by a brilliant evil one.

Hank...unfortunately, neither my Father or my Father-in-Law are in a position to do much research into American sympathies for the NAZI's in the 30s.I know that early on, prior to Hitler's implementation of The Final Solution, many were inclined to view him as a genius who had restored Germany's economy nearly overnight.If you are implying that there was any kind of support for the extermination of the Jewish people in the US...sure, we allow all kinds of maniacs the right to their own opinions.

AlistairUK..Agreed, we should have probably done more prior to the bombing to nip this in the bud- but how do you reach a rational understanding with an unreasonable government, bent on revenge? You can cajole, and you can threaten- then comes the tough part of following through on your threats...LEJ
