We have two sets of concerns relating to Kosovo. humanitarian and strategic. Sadly. in both our goals will end up being to undo the consequences of the war. The humanitarian goal is to reverse the flow of refugees out of Kosovo. The strategic goal is to stabilize the regionparticularly Macedonia and Albaniawhich is straining under the weight of the refugees and the war. NATO began bombing. let us remember. not for the refugees but to get Yugoslavia to sign the Rambouillet accords. And once the war began. several Western leaders. most prominently Britains Tony Blair. suggested that their war aims had expanded to include Milosevics head. Milosevic has been strengthened at home and even abroad. where most countries see him as the victim of an arbitrary exercise of Western power.
