Is there nothing the Serbian people can do to save their lives and their country?

    Q: It appears that the Serbian government is backing out of the peace treaty and the bombing will continue.
Is there nothing the Serbian people can do to save their lives and their country?

    The present issues seem to make Serbian government look right, for a change. The G8 plan said "United Nations", and who's there at the Macedonian border? NATO. No UN flags, no blue berets. Yugoslav generals seem to have demanded UN instead, and the Russians and the Chinese seem to have backed them up. There was a recent comment at Stratfor which went into detail about this.

    As to saving the country, if it was lost, it was lost ten years ago. It just took that long to realize. If it's not lost, well, there's hope. The country will survive - but nobody knows in what shape. I hope that future will not prove me wrong, but by the time this answer is posted, I think the bombing may belong to the past already.
