This story is important on two points:
- Refutes the continuous example given of Kosovo as a glorious Clinton success (after four years), unlike Bush's "miserable failure" in Iraq (after eight months).
- Refutes the constant drumbeat touting the U.N. as the only possible way to save the effort in Iraq.
Almost 1,200 Serbs killed this year. Out of a population of two million. Four years later.
