Attacking Serbia to "liberate" Kosovo was meant to transform NATO from a purely defensive alliance into a more proactive or offensive one, contrary to NATO's own charter, but responding to a certain realpolitik.

Which will come in handy when they want to separate irate Americans from Aztlan. Foreign troops won't hesitate to fire on Americans.

Unfortunately for international law and international stability, NATO's action against Serbia in 1999 was just such a war of aggression, waged without U.N. Security Council approval.

Lawlessness by western leaders is becoming increasingly the norm rather than the exception.

More fundamentally, stability in the international system can only be restored when the United States once again honors the fundamental principles of international law that it violated by attacking Iraq in 2003,...

I hate it when an author writes a very good piece and then shoots his credibility in the foot at the end of it.

Yeah, I am with you on that one. It usually happens when they write an article in their area of expertise and then try to wander of into what they don't have a clue about in the end.
