Summary/Abstract: In the New York Times magazine of May 3, 1999, under the title Why Are We in Kosovo, Susan Sontag writes: "The Milosevic Government has finally brought on Serbia a small portion of the suffering it has inflicted on neighbouring peoples. (...) War is a culture, bellicosity is addictive, defeat for a community that imagines itself to be history's eternal victim can be as intoxicating as victory. How long will it take for the Serbs to realise that the Milosevic years have been an unmitigated disaster for (...) the entire region, including Serbia. Alas, one thing we can be sure of, that will not happen soon".
