I include two unrelated remarks culled from interesting sources.

we read the following:

"_The New World Order_
What are defense forces now defending?
To be frank, what happened after 1989 was the economic and military triumph
of a single, unified world system that U.S. President George Bush called
the New World Order (Bush, 1990). This system makes surprisingly specific
and detailed demands:

'...that all must be capitalist, democratic, tolerant, non-racist, and
non-sectarian; allow equal opportunities and freedom of speech and the
press; protect human rights; not let governments greatly incommode world
trade or capital movements; and be peaceful except when enforcing these
demands.'

We admit, of course, that no sooner had Bush uttered the words 'New World
Order' than the concept was denounced as an absurd chimera by every
commentator. What is significant is that all recognized at once what he
meant and were able, unanimously and without coordination, to agree as to
what it was they considered absurd. Their outraged denials, repeated at
intervals ever since, merely gave greater substance and wider dissemination
to the concept, helping to make it the powerful coordinating framework it
has become.
The coordinating power of this universal understanding is immense. When the
United States and its allies seek to impose peace and order anywhere in the
world, all know more or less what kind of order they are demanding.
Moreover, there is a definite tendency for populations everywhere to demand
it for themselves, despite local efforts to persuade them not to."

we read:
 WASHINGTON -- Senator William V. Roth, Jr. (R-DE), Chairman of the Senate
NATO Observer Group, today delivered the following floor statement on the
lessons learned from Operation ALLIED FORCE and the Kosovo conflict:

"Among NATO's first and foremost objectives in this war was to stop the
atrocities then being committed against Kosovar Albanians. Yet, in the
course of Operation ALLIED FORCE, Milosevic accelerated and expanded his
campaign of terror. Before the war was over, nearly 90% of Kosovar
Albanians were driven from their homes by Serbian para-military and
military forces. Nearly one half were actually expelled from Kosovo.

"Moreover, no less than 10,000 Albanians were executed by Milosevic's
henchmen during the course of the NATO campaign. As we learn daily from the
grim excavations of body-filled wells and mass graves, the actual figure is
probably much, much higher. And then there were the countless rapes of
Albanian women, which for cultural reasons will unfortunately never be
fully reported -- all occurring during the course of Operation ALLIED FORCE.

"When assessing the lessons learned from the Kosovo war, we must not forget
that the primary purpose of NATO's threats and then its bombing campaign
was to prevent these tragedies from occurring.

"Then there are the facts concerning the balance of power between NATO and
Serbia. It took the Alliance 78 days to force Milosevic from Kosovo, a
region the size of Los Angeles County whose population was 90% Albanian --
a population that wanted NATO's support and that would have warmly welcomed
Alliance ground forces as was done when Operation JOINT GUARDIAN commenced.

"That this campaign took 78 days is especially disturbing when one takes
into account that, according to a Washington Post report, NATO has a
standing force some 37 times larger than that fielded by Slobodan Milosevic
and a combined economy that is 696 times larger than that of Serbia. These
statistics do not come close to capturing the vast technological advantages
NATO forces have over the Serbian military. . . ."
