The U.S. must adopt the same leadership position which it voluntarily took on when it initiated the bombing campaign against Yugoslavia in 1999. Pointing fingers while the Kosovars suffer won't help other nations take up the task. The U.S., while continuing to urge the E.U. and NATO member nations to share in the burden of policing in the area, must also lead by example. Blaming other nations won't erase the fact that the U.S. has taken it upon itself to be a world leader, and now must bear the consequences.
