Capt Ed, "The Serbs were our allies in WWII and did nothing to any of the NATO nations to bring this on themselves, as far as I can tell." Er, please translate!
So what your saying is in a european theatre (excuse you, lots of miles from all that), we should allow a 'Civil War' to rage, suck in all the other satellite countries (Bosnia effort was trying to prevent this) therefore causing all the other unstable former Eastern Block communities to break down 100% and have a 'Civil War' erupt in europe! Not trying to insult you or your bretheren, Capt Ed but this is on our doorstep if not in the front room. USA has had to 'deal' with the likes of Grenada, Panama, Cuba and any other small Carribean island it takes a dislike to, political or economic. A bit differant I think.
I'll agree, we have to rely on America when it comes to enforcing stability anywhere in the world, not a thought we all cherish! You just have to dig through what possible political intent there is and try and see if it is all worth while.
