THE continuing conflict in Kosovo is of great concern to all, and as they days go on the implications for so many people on both sides grows graver.

Of course Nato couldn't sit back and do nothing - could any of us if we saw friends or relatives being attacked close by?

Unfortunately the bombing seems to have spurred the Serbs into greater and more numerous atrocities. How Slobodan Milosevic sleeps at night I do not know

.Ground troops will have to be deployed soon or atrocities to innocent people will escalate further. I would like to ask those who condemn Nato for their bombing - and this is sad for innocent Serbian people also - what they would have done if faced with the same situation as President Clinton and Tony Blair?
