Serbian forces are entering Gorazde. Tens of thousands of Bosnian Muslim civilians face an enemy who has already slaughtered over 100,000 of their countrymen. The West sits on its hands. Weak leadership and spinelessness in the West have doomed the people of Gorazde. Serbian strongman Milosevic and his psychopathic allies in Bosnia are the Nazis of our day, and Bill Clinton and our European friends are playing their role as well. American troops do not need to fight on the ground in the Balkans, but if we act we must act aggressively--and act as the moral and military leaders of the free world. Time has long since passed when we should lift the arms embargo on the Bosnians and Croatians, who are the victims of a genocidal landgrab by their Serbian neighbors. And, if we decide to use force again, we should bomb Serbia's military infrastructure, in Serbia--get that, in Serbia--rather than dropping a couple of duds on tents, which only provides the West's gutlessness, and emboldens Serbian cutthroats.
