The Clinton administration has ensnared the United States in the irrelevant turmoil of the Balkans. After NATO's nearly yearlong occupation of Kosovo, the General Accounting Office in Washington warns that "many difficult political, social and other issues remain unresolved" in the "volatile" territory. Yet the Republican Congress does nothing.
A year ago, the U.S. and its NATO allies fomented war over Kosovo by attempting to impose the unrealistic Rambouillet diktat. Shameless NATO propaganda stirred up war fever.
The Clinton administration then attacked Yugoslavia without the sanction of either the U.S. Congress or the United Nations. After 78 days of bombing, the attackers won -- though NATO's claims of military success turned out to be grossly inflated.
