Kosovo

While I don't usually quote fellow-bloggers, this gentleman is almost always worth reading, and sums up my feelings on this matter pretty nicely -- the US involvement in the
Balkan issue was one the reasons I chose to leave the US military. Captain Ed @ Captain's Quarters writes:

"People claim that the Bush administration had no plan for Iraq, but we helped the Iraqis form a representative government and held three national elections in less than half the time that the United Nations has sat on Kosovo. After bombing the Serbian army and forcing them to withdraw, the UN did nothing to address the status of the Kosovars for seven long years."
