I can’t make sense of this article.

I thought the Germans were begging Clinton to get involved in Kosovo. We weren’t shopping around for a country to attack where we had no national interest.

Kosovo belongs to the EU. Let them deal with it, it’s in their back yard, not ours.

The writer rather neatly avoids the main issue:
Namely, that the entire raison d'être for the operation was false, that is to save the Kosovar Albanians from extinction. Subsequent events have shown the reasonable portion of the world that it was the Kosovar Albanians who were doing most of the extincting. It's not always easy to make the Serbs look good, but the Kosovar Albananians and their KLA certainly did.

So, not only did we intervene where we should not have, subsequent events may well prove that we intervened on the wrong side.

just how much constraint on our freedom of action do you support?

None.

Requiring nothing but a "coalition of the willing" doesn't constrain us at all.

Exactly.

We have never needed "UN approval." Only leftists traitors and foreign enemies want the USA to be constrained.
