The US-NATO War on Yugoslavia It’s Illegal, Inhumane and Must Be Stopped by Janette Rainwater “Our first objective is to prevent the re-emergence of a new rival. . . . First, the U.S. must show the leadership necessary to establish and protect a new order that holds the promise of convincing potential competitors that they need not aspire to a greater role or pursue a more aggressive posture to protect their legitimate interests. "We must account sufficiently for the interests of advanced industrial nations to discourage them from challenging our leadership or seeking to overturn the established political and economic order. Finally, we must maintain the mechanism for deterring potential competitors from even aspiring to a larger regional or global role. "It is of fundamental importance to preserve NATO as the primary instrument of Western defense and security as well as a channel for U.S. influence and participation in European security affairs. . . . We must seek to prevent the emergence of European-only security arrangements which would undermine NATO. "The U.S. should be postured to act independently when collective action cannot be orchestrated.” [New York Times, March 8, 1992, A1.] This happened on George Bush’s watch, but by his actions it seems that Bill Clinton has signed onto the program with complete conviction. |
