But since I have family in the regions that Clark was performing in, I have a more on the ground, human perpective of the events. At the time the Russians were furious. Th current statements about what Clark did being correct are diplomatic maturbation common in diplomatic circles. They were pissed as hell. A lot of innocent civilians died as a result of strikes ordered by Clark, similar in nature to the so called surgical strikes in Iraq, where tens of thousands have died to date. It wasnt much differnt in the balkans when out heat seaking missiles decided to chase a passenger train because its engine was giving off more heat than the column of tanks it was aimed at, wiping out several hundred civilians trying to escape a war zone.

As you notice, Clark wasnt selected for the VP slot, and in fact, has not been mentioned as part of the short list for months. Most of the reasons are because of the events in Kosovo and the rest of the balkans
