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...

Well, of course not - the US wasn't just simply "shopping around."

Look, and as I have said before, the primary reason NATO found itself sucked into Kosovo was because there was a prevailing belief - at that time - that if the Kosovo conflict was not stopped it would soon spill over into Macedonia. If that happened then that republic's neighbors would be pulled in. Albania would invoke its defense treaties with Turkey, Greece would then become involved and there might even be subsequent repercussions in Cyprus.

Further, and perhaps more importantly, is that the 1999 NATO bombings were a knee-jerk reaction to Serbian actions from Dubrovnik to Vukovar, to Sarajevo, to Srebenica.

Well, the Kosovo conflict was "stopped", but the Albanian then took the show to Macedonia via the ALA.
