I'm familiar with the New Republic article and am anxiously waiting for a
counter argument.
With respect to "Why did the US attack Yugoslavia?" Chomsky prefers to
answer a slightly different question. One that is framed more to his liking at
http://www.zmag.org/ZMag/chomreplieskos.htm
which includes the following:
"[Steven Erlanger] writes that 'just before the bombing, when [the Serbian
Parliament] rejected NATO troops in Kosovo, it also supported the idea of a
United Nations force to monitor a political settlement there.' If
Erlanger's report is true, then it provides very dramatic evidence of US
intentions: . . ."
The effectiveness of UN protection is mentioned in the Stacy Sullivan article:
". . .We had been told that Kamenica was the place where Bosnian Serb
forces had killed many of the 7,000 Bosnian Muslims who were missing after
the Serbs overran the U.N.-protected enclave of Srebrenica the previous
summer. . ."
Ken Freeland writes:

It appears that some on the left wish to have it several different ways at
once.
