Yes and we still have troops in harms way in Bosnia ensuring that radical Muslims aren't unduly harrassed in Eastern Europe. What a great precedent it was sending NATO troops in to settle an internal dispute violating their national sovereignty essentially doing what NATO was created to prevent.

Nation busting bump.

"What a great precedent it was sending NATO troops in to settle an internal dispute violating their national sovereignty essentially doing what NATO was created to prevent."

Agreed. It was a really stupid move initiated by a terrible President who had no idea how to use American and NATO strengths in a crisis. But as you imply, going into places like Bosnia was not at all what NATO was established to do. It was established to create a common defense against the spread of Soviet Communism in the West. In that role, it was used extremely effectively.
