Bosnia was not a vital interest of this country. That was the main argument against US involvement there ("Let the Euros clean up their own messes").

Yes, but look at all of the "accomplishments" listed in the above post. They all have to do with our humanitarian efforts there. To speak of "ending the threat that weapons of mass destruction will be developed and used" is to overlook the fact that most supporters of the war claim that these weapons have been moved to other locations. If that's true, the that would mean they still exist and pose a threat - kind of like the nuclear devices that went missing after the fall of the Soviet Union.

How Ironic! We went to Iraq based on our National Interests. Clinton went to Kosovo based on his Personal Interests. Bout sums Clinton up, doesn't it?
