I'd wager that India and China would say there's a pretty big difference between then and now.

Would the middle east also consider the difference positive?

Hell, the NATO bombings in Serbia happened just 15 years ago. That was pretty damn close to home for some of us. I have many friends who remember the bombings.

And 20 years ago NATO bombed a different part of Yugoslavia that was even closer to where I grew up.

I am really happy that Slovenia was able to secede from Yugoslavia without NATO bombings. Although I do remember hiding in the cellar one night when the sirens went off. Luckily no actual air raid occured.

Yes. Now they get to be on the semi-dominant end of the spectrum.
