If only we would use ground troops. some hawks now respond. none of this would have happened. And certainly the decision to go to war carelessly and In haste. before massing ground troops in Albania and Macedonia. was a historic blunder. Ground troops would have proved a potent threat.

And it would have been near impossible to invade Kosovo while hundreds of thousands of refugees were swarming across its roads. bridges and mountain paths. Those who still advocate the use of ground troops today speak of its military benefits. which are real. They do not. however. mention its costs. which are political.
