If U.S. policy was based on humanitarian considerations. it has clearly failed on that score. Having embarked on this policy. the United States has now assumed a moral obligation to get Milosevic to withdraw his forces from Kosovo. He should help return the refugees in an orderly manner and work with us to generally assist in reconstruction. along with all of our allies and friends throughout the world. Just as surely. we need to help Albania and Macedonia economically. for they are bearing the brunt of the refugee crisis. But we must ask ourselves whether military escalation is the best means of achieving that. I have come to the conclusion that military escalation is neither in the national interest nor can it achieve a stable. longterm peace in the region.
