These nuts in Bosnia started World War I, which greased the surface for World War II. Either we all just plain ignore them and let them kill off one whole segment of society, which I don't have a problem with....or we end up getting involved. For such a little insignifiganet part of the world, they have dragged us all along for over 100 years.

For such a little insignifiganet part of the world, they have dragged us all along for over 100 years. How could little Bosnia "drag us all along"??? It's the big powers that sucked up little Bosnia. Austria extended its reach past Croatia into Bosnia and then when the Archduke was assassinated while touring his stolen property, Austria took advantage of the opportunity to try to subjugate Serbia too -- they wanted obedient minions in the Balkans. The whole world objected. Don't blame little Bosnia or even little Serbia. The nuts are the greedy big powers. Your grasp of the situation is amazing and ridiculous but maybe this forum will give you a little enlightenment.
