A failed Balkan policy may, through impatience or guilt, tempt the West to sue for a premature peace that rewards Serbian aggression. The West is clearly unwilling to undertake the kind of military intervention required to reverse Serbian gains. Lifting the arms embargo on Bosnian Muslims might clear Western consciences, but it will increase casualties without changing the fortunes of either side. Washington must convince its allies to take a long view and prosecute an indefinite cold war against Serbia. Sanctions and isolation, as employed against South Africa and Iraq, will force a regime change in Belgrade, and then an honorable peace.
