OK. Men hvis NATOs aksjoner fører til det motsatte av det ønskete resultat:
økt undertrykkelse av kosovo-albanere, styrking av Milosevichs posisjon,
økt undertrykkelse av anti-Milosevich krefter i Jugoslavia, osv osv., da må
Garvik være snill å fortelle meg hvorfor han mener det skal bombes. Jeg vil
gjerne overbevises.
