It was never about control of the region, who cares about that, but NATO was motivated to prevent its perception of atrocities committed by Serbs against the civilians of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo. Milosevic played the perfect villain.
In retrospect, after 9/11, I often wonder if I was fighting on the right side. The Serbs, after all, had centuries of experience in this fight. But their downfall was their brutality as evidenced by Srbrenica and the shelling of Sarajevo. That set them up as evil in the perception of the West, which time after time demonstrates its short memory.
Experiences of the past 15 years puts me now fairly solidly on the side of the Serbs, should the issue re-emerge..
