Milosovic is completely rational, he is just using a differedt value system than we do. In his terms the peace terms ammounted to "commit sucide or we will kill you". If he accepts he will be out of power, and possibly dead, very quickly. If he rejects the peace offer his army will be attacked, damaged, but probably not destroyed. By being openly against NATO he is out from under a number of restrictions and can possibly emirge much better off. Given this kind of decision table it is a no brainer. The fact his country gets trashed in the process is acceptable overhead.
In the last part of this centuary the press brought hone to people images of the bad side of war (blown apart bodies, not at all what you see in the movies). This produced a emotional reaction among people who saw the horror, but not the excitement of war. Technowar allows the horror to be filtered out while maintaining the excitement. This is much more satisfactery to everyone, except the people who have been volintered to serve as targets.
