But do you want to try and imagine what former Yugoslavia would look like now if there had not been an international intervention (postponed and hobbled by the United Nations) to arrest the process of aggression and ethnocide?

What the heck is he talking about? We sided with terrorist who were raising hell in Bosnia and Kosovo. Milosevic responded and we chose the Islamists. What we have now is a bigger problem with the Islamists in defacto control of the area.

It was a 'civil war' and should have stayed as such.

I'm with you (to a certain extent) on Kosovo, but not Bosnia. The later was a blatant, murderous, aggressive and gratuitous land grab by the Bosnian Serbs (supported by the serbian serbs and the communist criminal Milosevic). The current dysfunctional mess, and the asurdly jur-rigged Dayton Accords, are the result of our failure to deal with aggression and ethnic cleansing early and forcefully. If we had done so (or even lifted the one-sided arms sanctions so the victims could have defended themselves without help from jihadis) there is at least a chance that we would now have several moderately stable and functional states in the former Yugoslavia that we wouldn't have to babysit for the next freakin' thirty years.
