Is it to take Kosovo and occupy it for years. perhaps decades. against the threat of Serbian guerrilla warfare. or should the goal be to conquer Serbia with unforeseen consequences to wider Balkan instability. our relationship with Russia and our ability to respond to other regional flash points around the world? Do those who advocate such a course understand that it may take months to properly build up such an invasion and force? How much more misery and devastation will have occurred by then. and does that serve the interests of refugees and innocent civilians? I am not impressed by foreign leaders who take it upon themselves to lecture the American people about where our duty lies or how we must not be so misguided as to slip into isolationism. This argument is simply not warranted in light of the history of the last 50 years or in reference to the present situation.
