"Hadn't realised that Kosovo was about one man. Had assumed it had something to do with the Serb army in Kosovo, stopping the ethnic cleansing, etc"

Jacko, poor use of irony. Wars are almost always either about one man or an oligarchy that focuses on one man.

The link I referred you to was by Lord Robertson, who, you will recall, was head honcho at the time of Kosovo. I always thought that it was safe to take the word of someone as highly regarded as he was.

But you believe you understand the situation better than Robertson. What was that about arrogance again...?
