There is nothing radical about Marcus Gee's article. Noone with their eyes open can deny that the NATO bombings have worsened the situation. Its the old Anthony Lewis/dove line that we should get out of the war because we are losing. The costs of winning the war are too high. The intentions were good, the cause noble but somehow its all gone awry. There is no questioning the motives of NATO. Gee remains silent about the question of international law and respect for national sovereignty. In short, Gee does not engage the arguments of the anti-bombing sector at all. However, the Globe's editorial page is considerably more liberal than their colleagues at America's national business paper, the Wall Street Journal. The feet of the WSJ editorialists haven't touched Planet Earth for decades now. Sam Pawlett
