NATO MAY JOIN MACEDONIAN QUAGMIRE NATO agreed to send several thousand troops to Macedonia to help disarm ethnic Albanian rebels if Slav and ethnic Albanian leaders can reach an agreement to resolve the crisis there, according to the Associated Press. ( http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20010620/ts/nato_macedonia_3.html ) The alliance said in a statement today that NATO members agreed on a "concept of operations" to enable NATO to act swiftly to secure a peace plan if it can be worked out between the two sides in the southern Balkan country. In the new study "Waist Deep in the Balkans and Sinking: Washington Confronts the Crisis in Macedonia," Cato's Ted Galen Carpenter writes that the recent eruption of fighting in Macedonia and in Serbia's Presevo Valley shows the bankruptcy of Washington's Balkan policy. He recommends that the United States disengage and let the European countries grapple with the situation.
