I agree.
The US has made a huge moral mistake by using violence against violence.
They criticized Milosevic for the war, but went there and did the same.
First the americans killed poeple in their air bombing campain, second they partitioned a country regardless of ethnic division and local opinions.

Those who use brute force to oppress or annihilate must be met with force to end such violence.  Yes, a few innocent people were lost, but far fewer than that which a continued license for genocide (our inaction was that in effect) created.  Our actions were justifiable and humane when we finally took them.  Less defensible was the inaction which enabled genocide like that in Srebrenitsa.

You can't always draw territorial lines by ethnicity...in fact, I think its rather uncivilized in most cases to use such methods today.  Should we draw up new borders every time the demographics change?
