The bombing of Serbia by the Washington led military coalition earlier this year may have been meant as a warning to Russia not to step too far out of line. Certainly Washington's bombing of Serbia is clear evidence that Washington is now prepared to use such aggression against a European power such as Serbia and may be prepared to use military air power against Russia over Chechnya or some other matter/s. It would seem that the bombing of Serbia was not merely executed to simply deal with Belgrade. It would seem to have broader political and strategic implications --an indication as to how far Washington is prepared to go to develop and maintain its kind of world. The bombing of Serbia adds clout to the seriousness of Washington's diplomatic and strategic programme. It is a way of telling the world to take Washington serious. In that way the bombing was generally meant to underscore and strengthen American strategy and corresponding diplomacy. It may have been that the subjugation of Belgrade was essentially a subsidiary issue to the one of underscoring overall global American strategy --similar, perhaps, in intent to nuking of Hiroshoma.
