General Wesley Clark has been given wide discretion to bomb what
are euphemistically termed
"civilian-sensitive targets". Serb TV. had a more accurate
description even if its English is
a bit strange, when it claimed NATO was bombing civilian objects.
Before, NATO was destroying structures such as bridges and
railroads that have both civilian and military uses. Now it is
clear that
there is an explicit aim of causing hardship to civilians.
Heating plants, electrical generating stations and
water systems are now legitimate targets not to mention private
homes and tv stations. These are clearly not military targets at
all.

Cheers, Ken Hnaly

P.S. Is there a tacit agreement that Russia will not ship oil to
Yugoslavia or is NATO really unconcerned about stopping and
searching Russian vessels? Russia says it will keep on shipping
oil but I wonder
if this is just face-saving rhetoric?
