Since we fought a Balkan's war to break up ethnic majority or plurality states away form another country (Kosovo out of Yugoslavia) who are we to say it is wrong now?

Just to be on the safe side, teach your grandkids Spanish.

Most here would reply, "because it was wrong to do so there, and Clinton was a [long stream of expletives deleted] for ordering it."

I'm not well-versed enough in the history of the region in general, or in our conflict there in particular, but it doesn't seem like we should be in the business of redrawing the maps for others. I'm all for ousting mass murderers, and preventing equally horrible replacements, but let the survivors make their own way into the future... even if it means they have to shed blood over the issue.

Can you imagine what our history would have been if a coalition force had defeated King George in 1775, and then told us what our new nation would or would not become... and then prevented us from fighting it out with the newly-placed authoritarians?
