Is there a good side to ethnic cleansing? Also, Canadian troops are bound by UN ROE's and mandates while deployed. As far as I know the UN does not authorize leadership assasinations.

You, of course, are bound by your oath and your honor to follow the orders of your military superiors in your courageous and honorable service to your nation. You have done so, and your government has chosen to comply with the UN rules in the Balkans mission. That is their prerogative, and that of Canadians that elect their government (recently more conservative). This is entirely honorable but NOT NECESSARILY WISE policy.

There is no good side to ethnic cleansing, and it is frighteningly common. Being unable to see both side is far worse than objectivity.

If any entity should decide to join a fight not immediately imposed upon them, it would be a good idea to win, win decisively and finally. Only fools and the UN would punish one side of a two sided ethnic cleansing and put up with a manipulator of their use of force. Canadians should be neither.
