We bomb buildings that we are certain are empty but not television towers or airports. We bomb oil storage depots but allow oil tankers to unload replacement oil within sight of our fleet. At this point. of course. a conflict over an issue that was not vital to our national security in the beginning has now escalated to one that is. both with respect to the refugees and to the survival of NATO itself. all due to the frivolous and halfhearted nature of our military operations. In the abstract. this fact lays weight to the arguments of Senators LUGAR and MCCAIN. among others. to lift the artificial and selfdefeating renunciation of ground operations. But their arguments flounder disastrously with the first whiff of reality.
