[0:11] >> On World News Tonight this Tuesday, the

[0:12] NATO alliance is authorized to build a

[0:15] war against Serbia. The Serbian leader

[0:17] will not sign a peace agreement for the

[0:19] Serbian province of Kosovo. If President

[0:22] Malloich is not willing to make peace,

[0:26] we are willing to limit his ability to
