Let us now praise America for doing right by the Kosovars
Article Abstract:
Nato military action against the Serbs in Kosovo, Yugoslavia, was not to do with expansionism. It was also not about the US arrogantly demonstrating its power. In fact, it is now difficult to secure US interest in what is taking place in the rest of the world. There is a strong tendency towards isolationism among political and military leaders in the US, while most ordinary Americans have little knowledge about what happens outside their own country. In this case, it was right that the Americans became involved.
