Madeleine Albright: “I think NATO is an essential alliance, and our part in it is obviously key.”

On Kosovo, our shared goal should be for it to become a normal country in the United Nations, part of the regular international system, and with all the rights of international law to defend its territory.

There is a movement on the other side. There is kind of rising nationalism in a number of different countries.

The time is right to revive that sense of solidarity.

The failure to pay our old U.N. bills undermines our ability to recruit allies with the kind of structural reform that Congress demands.
