But we bombed the crap out of it, and we were helping to speed up the Euro inspired Yugo disintegration. We should have acted unilaterally and left them alone.
I completely agree. What troubles me is that the very people who criticize the mythical American "hegemony" are the ones who are constantly encouraging US cooperation with UN meddling.
I propose that, left to its own devices and inclination, the United States would never partake in the kind of crap it has over the past 10-15 years. Somalia? Screw 'em. Bosnia? Remember, the troops will be home by Christmas...1994. Yugoslavia? That was the opportunity to give the EU its comeuppance: "In an effort to encourage the growth of the European Union as a viable political and economic entity, the United States will allow them to resolve this issue on their own."
