The lessons of removing dictators or in the case of Tito dying have not been learnt.

Removing a murderous B*stard of a dictator has many unforeseen consequences. Saddam Hussein being a case in point, he did not tolerate intra-tribal or religious trouble because he slaughtered the perpetrators, same as Tito, Ghaddafi or Assad. Whilst they were in command their countries had relative peace and harmony, now come along and try to start a western idea of 'democracy' and the place falls apart.

Sometimes you just have to leave these places alone and not get involved.
