The bombing of Serbia would be a mistake with unforeseen consequences. Because:

1. The innocent people would suffer. The guilty would be, as always, safe - in the shelters, bunkers or abroad, where they had already set up their bank accounts;
2. It would destroy an already ruined economy. Sooner or later, that cripple would become a serious financial and moral burden for the international community. It is hardly possible to speak about Europe with a "black hole" in its heart;
3. The poor would become even poorer, and the war profiteers even richer. No one would dare raise the question of the responsibility for stolen funds, regardless of their name and origin: old foreign currency savings, the loan for the Serbian revival, financial pyramid schemes, privatisation or, simply pensions and salaries arrears;
4. It would strengthen extremists, chauvinists, political autists, national-socialists, isolationists, revanchists, all supporters of the theory about the "international conspiracy against the Serbs", who are already in the limelight. Today's regime can hardly imagine a better gift than Tomahawks, and is, basically, calling and asking for it in different ways;
5. It would delay the arrival of democracy to this region; long term, the elections would not change anything. "Patriots" repeat that they do not have "a spare homeland", so they have to defend this one with "all available means"; in fact the common people do not have "spare heads", so when the bombs start falling - there is no talk about democracy;
6. The first target of the regime would be "foreign mercenaries", "traitors", "the fifth column", "mondialists", all that think differently or believe that the homeland would have been more effectively defended by a wise policy than by arms. The lists have already been made, some of them published as well, the fascist posters pasted over the anti-war ones, the execution squads are ready, and are only waiting for the sign to start;
7. It would not bring closer the solution of the Kosovo crisis. On the contrary.
