Of course there will be no change. The whole Kosovo saga was a step in the direction of encircling Russia. Serbia knows it, Russia know it and the US damn well knows it. There will be no change in foreign policy. US will be in Kosovo for a long time and will end up being bankrupt for your efforts.

Hopefully, the midguided US Foreign Policy of the past decades will end: a penchant for military adventures worldwide and intervention in internal affairs of other sovereign nations. As for Kosovo, the challenge will be for obama to omit inclusion in his advisors such 'neocons' and 'Clintonistas' for whom such actions have been their career stepstones in the past. I specifically refer to Albright, Clarke, Holbrooke, Walker and their ilk for whom maintaining the myth of humanitarianism as their guideline ignores the realities of hard facts, not the drive-by journalism such as the Holiday Inn propaganda incestuously produced regarding the Racak and market massacres in former Yugoslavia.

This article reflects cluesness of the media. Kosovo problem is part and parcel of a weird two-step EU-US dance in a openly menacing attempt at encircling Russia. But the success of isolating USSR is not working today. Russia has no ideologically based foreign policy, and is getting increasingly integrated into the global economic fabric.
Kosovo reflects the European centuries-long push to dominate Balkans, successfully portrayed as 'America made us do it'. US European foreign policy from Clinton to Bush has been very misguided. The fact is, 'clintonistas' and 'neocons' are chips of the same block, and their huge failure was and is to fall into the European trap.
New Mexico's Governor Bill Richardson last night summarized best the incoming Administration's foreign policy mantra: seek the mutually beneficial solutions in dealing with other countries. At present, the Euro navel-gazing of 'clintonistas' and 'neocons', is ideological and not pragmatic. Pragamatic solution to Kosovo would involve solutions to the mutual benefit of US and Russia. European security needs, like Russia's need to be on the table. And without Europe taking US to cleaners.
