Without US intervention in Bosnia, the Bosnian Muslims and their Croatian allies would have overrun the country in a few months, and then Serbia would have gotten involved and you would have had a much, much wider war.

Meanwhile, the Serbs were committing genocide in the areas they controlled. US intervention did much to stop the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Croatians and Bosnians.

Still blissfully buying the propaganda hook, line and sinker as well as denying the Croatian/Muslim conflict around Mostar, I see. Hey, how't the ethnic plurality looking in the Moslem controled areas, eh?

The Croatians would never have agreed to live under Moslem rule but they had to cut a deal with NATO.

The idea that they would have moved the Serbs out of Bosnia is so detached from reality as to be deserving more of pity than laughter.

"Without US intervention in Bosnia, the Bosnian Muslims and their Croatian allies would have overrun the country in a few months, and then Serbia would have gotten involved and you would have had a much, much wider war."

What are you talking about?

Where should I begin to point out your errors?

1) First of all, it was US intervention that helped set the stage for the war, after the Dayton accords were signed by all three factions Alija Izetbegovic reneged at the urging of Warren Zimmerman telling Izetbegovic that the US would back the BiH Msulims if he did. He basically told him if he didn't like the deal not to sign it.

2) Neither the Croatians nor the BiH Muslims were in the position to be overrunning anybody, it was precisely US intervention that concocted that bastardized alliance that the Croatians did not want to be a part of in the first place. The US forced Croatia's hand and told them if they didn't ally themselves with BiH government's efforts, they would apply sanctions and bomb them.

3) It was with US assitance that the Croatians were able to expell and cleanse Krajina of 250,000 Serbs.

The Serbs would have won hands down, in fact, the Croatians and the Serbs assisted one another against Muslims at some points during the war. Also in fact, at the beginning of war the Serbs were allied with Fikert Abdic, the rightfully elected Muslim leader of Bosnia who was forced out by Izetbegovic. Abdic was targeted by Izetbegovic, muslims fighting muslims.

I don't know where you were when this was all happening but you were definatley not on this planet. You are so off base, in fact, that it should be considered almost comical, you apparently really have no clue about what happened in Bosnia.
