Reports of atrocities against civilians in the Albanian dominated province of Kosovo have trickled out over the last year and earned global condemnation. Despite please from the international community, and threats from NATO nations, the violence continued. Meetings between the Serbs, Albanian rebels and mediators failed. Although the rebels signing a peace deal, Milosevic refused. He left himself and the allied forces of NATO with no option but to use force.
Military action is the last straw and it has finally come to that.
The United States and its NATO allies have made the right choice to strike in an attempt to end the violence. It may be the only thing that forces Milosevic to stop his crackdown. Such action, however, will not come without costs. American pilots and their counterparts from other NATO countries will be in harm's way. Some may die.
