The article analyzes United States' military relation with Serbia and Yugoslavia. The catastrophic effects of the air war against Serbia subvert the American Administration's declared humanitarian intentions. Instead of tying Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic's hands, the bombing encourages Serbian nationalists for whom no price is too great to pay to hold on to Kosovo, the symbol of Serbian national identity. President Clinton's decision to use military force against the Serbs was not simply a calculated response to Slobodan Milosevic's intransigence.
