Ground troops are the only option. You can't win a war from the air.
And, on another note, does anyone find it interesting that it was the Chinese Embassy that was hit. If it were the American or British or French or Canada, NATO allies, that would be an accident. But it seems a bit weird that the Embassy bombed would be that of a country that is on Miloshevic's side. Me thinks that the Chinese were helping the Serbs out in someway, and NATO found out about it. With satellites, reconaissance planes, and spies on the ground checking out targets, false identification is a pretty pathetic excuse.

On a continent of difficult histories, the Serbains probably have had the worst. They are not going to give up to NATO air attacks. For the Serbs the battle of Kosovo is unimaginably important. It is a long standing belief that at the battle the Serbian nation was destroyed and reborn in the kingdom of heaven. Many will have to die on both sides before the province is given up.

There is a larger issue here. You people call this a war? Jubilee is right. About the month anyway - July (I don't know the date...aw hell, let's just say July 14 anyway).. I proclaim my mom the resident Nostradamus expert; she has spent 30 years of her life researching this, and she has suceeded in deciphering how Nostradamus dated his quatrains. And now, with July approaching, she is watching with fascination as the events fall into place.....want to read more about Nostradamus? CLICK HERE. ((NO, he did NOT predict WW III for 1993...Christ...where did you hear THAT!? Some National Enquirer magazine? Heh..).

Does noone ever watch Orson Wells anymore? He did an excellent picture on the writings of Nostradamus. Though you cannot always believe what you see and hear.
Besides, why must you know when the end of the world is coming? It's going to be here one way or another. Packing food and getting in a bomb shelter won't stop it. Yes, you might be alive, but who would want to live in a post apocalyptic world? Filled with radiation, and nuclear winter. I wouldn't.

Nostradamus made 103 predictions, 102 of them have been wrong, the other is scheduled to occur this July. I personally doubt his flawless record will be broken. Of course some people try to read completely unrelated events into the prophesies but there is no evidence he intended them for this purpose.

Simon: Where did you read that, hmm? Nostradamus didn't write the quatrains in such a manner that the average moron could read them and understand them. He would have been killed in his time, having been proclaimed a witch. So he coded them; purposefully made them hard to understand. And now, you, after reading National Enquirer or some other nonsense source, think you have good reason to say that Nostradamus made 103 predictions, 102 of which haven't come true?? HA! *LMAO* Okay, if you know it all, why don't you give us a list of the so-called false prophecies.
First of Two: Nah-uh.......you see the 1-14? Three digits of the year "1914" are given here. Only two digits of the year "1999" are given here. If Nostradamus has used this method to date that quatrain, you can be sure that the stated event has already happened. Hehe.

Here's an example of a plain factual error on the page.
"The planet Saturn moves very slowly, taking on the average 360 years to make a revolution throughout all the signs."
Er, everybody knows (or can look up in a book) that Saturn "goes through the signs" (makes a complete circuit of the sun, thus crossing the whole zodiac) Once in just under 30 years.
Yes, it's a nit. But it's a factor-10 nit. 30 vs 360.
If your premises are flawed, your conclusions will be. The only way to make any sense of of Nostradamus's "predictions" is to pick and choose with hindsight things that MIGHT have fit, loosely, sometime in the past.
The "King of Terror from the Sky" could just as easily be a UFO invader, Baron von Richtoven, an airline bomber, Quetzalcoatl, or something else.
(or to rephrase the old jab, "If you're so psychic, why aren't you rich?")

Coddman and other Nostradamus believers: If this event does not come to pass will you lose all faith in Nostradamus. I doubt it, when ever one of his prophesies are proved false they are redefined as pertaining to an event still to come. The secret to being a psychic is to be as vague as possible. If you say someone enjoys to travel, you will usually be right. Or if you say some Slavs will say something that will be believed by a group of idiots you will probably be right.

Speaking of "King of Terror from the Sky" it could've referred to the atomic bombs dropped on Japan. Definitely terror that came from the sky. It's difficult at best to prove that a man from the 15th century could, with some accuracy, predict events 500 years in the future.

DO NOT assume that the Chinese are cooperating with the Serbs. Although I am against the Chinese policy on Human rights, this does not stop me from siding to them when such preposterous accusations which have no basis come up.
