Letter: Call Russian bluff

Sir: I think that it should be by now obvious that nothing Slobodan Milosevic would do would be judged by Nato to be enough, as Nato must attack Serbia to defend its "credibility" and Bill Clinton must divert the American public's attention during the November elections from his own amoral actions and possible impeachment.

However, it should be remembered that once Yugoslavia is illegally violated by Nato, there is no turning back and the Balkans will remain destabilised for decades. Think it over carefully.
