NATO Lt. Gen. Michael Short justifies war crimes

The commander of NATO's air war against Serbia, Lt. Gen. Michael Short, declared at one point during the bombing: If you wake up in the morning and you have no power to your house and no gas to your stove and the bridge you take to work is down and will be lying in the Danube for the next 20 years, I think you begin to ask, "Hey, Slobo [Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic], what's this all about? How much more of this do we have to withstand?"[Washington Post, May 24, 1999, p.1]

General Short, said the New York Times, "hopes that the distress of the Yugoslav public will undermine support for the authorities in Belgrade."[New York Times, May 13, 1999, p.1]
