Document Summary
Kosovo albanians rebelled and serb responded with terror - operation horseshoe by the milosevic government. Why did the intervention take place? (and not other places) Guilt from bosnian catastrophe to go on for four years. On its 50th anniversary, nato could not be humiliated again by m. ** these are true but insufficient to explain why nato launched a war. Flight of kosovars was the lead story on every tv network in the western world >made humanitarian needs a high priority for nato governments. Ngos engaged in classic development assistance rather than humanitarianism relief. Blurring of the distinction between relief work and political engagement: humanitarian workers expected to be the eyes and ears of the world in kosovo.

Plenty of aid compared with africa, but did not expect that serbs would try to expel the majority of kosovars, lacked preparedness.
