Description
In less than five years, the United States has participated in three major military campaigns, each an apparent departure from then-prevailing use-of-force paradigms. NATO conducted the first, Operation Allied Force, in 1999, to end abuse of the Kosovar Albanians by ethnic Serbs of the Yugoslav security forces and to force President Slobodan Milosovic back to the negotiating table after his breach of the Rambouillet accords. (1) Although humanitarian interventions had been mounted with United Nations Security Council approval (sometimes ex post facto) in the past, (2) this was the first conducted by "normatively mature" states without a mandate and in the face of opposition from a permanent Council member, Russia. (3) Two years later, on September 11, al Qaeda operatives hijacked four commercial aircraft, flying two into the World Trade Center and one into the Pentagon. The fourth crashed in Pennsylvania after passengers courageously attempted to seize control from the terrorists. Nearly 3,000 individuals perished in the attacks. (4) The U.S. response was swill and aggressive. In less than a month, U.S. and British armed forces launched Operation Enduring Freedom against al Qaeda targets in Afghanistan, and against the Taliban, the de facto rulers of most of the country.
