| I think, in terms of recent operations, Somalia and Bosnia were positive contributions of the military and somehow made sense. Bosnia worked out all right. The Bosnians were Western and liked America's presence. The Somalis didn't. I heard talk of some saying they want to go back to Somalia? What is your take on that? I mean the Somalis are going after the Ethiopians, they probably won't feel grateful for any foreign presence. Well, some Somalis would, but what about this new Somali government? |

Why did you post the same thread 3 times?
Aren't there any mods to stop Adventurer and Gopher's spamming? |

| well there haven't been any massacres since NATO went in. There has been relative peace. Not sure what you're refering to there. |

It was not intentional. There was a problem with the server. Why would I intentionally post something three times. Geez... And don't bring Gopher into this. He had nothing to do with this. |

Yes, intervention in Bosnia worked well but not very well in Kossovo.
I was referring to Bosnia to illustrate a time when U.S. intervention went well. Bosnia is largely European Muslim. It was a former republic i.e. with legal standing within the former republic of Jugoslavia, so they wanted the intervention and it saved lives. Kossovo did not work well.
Most people think intervention in Bosnia took too long, however. I don't think Kossovo was handled well. |
