Explore "A Diplomatic Solution" by Howard Zinn on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Many people on the American Left, who had been united in their opposition to the Vietnam War and the Gulf War, were divided on what to do when the Milosevic regime in Yugoslavia attacked people in Kosovo for wanting independence, committing atrocities, driving people from their homes. The Clinton administration responded with a bombing campaign, and I tried in this essay for The Progressive to sort out the moral issues.
A friend wrote to ask my opinion on Kosovo. He said many people were turning to him for answers, and he didn't know what to say, so he was turning to me (knowing, I guess, that I always have something to say, right or wrong).
